What are your thoughts? I'll happily put raisins, pineapple and chopped apple in a curry.

Is that weird?

What other fruits do you add? Or shall I just get my coat?

Depends on the curry. Some milder dishes call for fruit. Also if from north or southern India if fruit is added

Not for me

I eat lots of fruit every day

There are very few fruits that I don't like

For me though, sweet & savoury rarely mix well

I am all for food segregation

I usually eat curry without fruit in it but I do enjoy the addition of mango chutney and I love a peshwari naan.

I cook a curry my mum used to cook when I was growing up from an old cookbook (about 1960s) and that has chopped apple in it. Add pineapple when it's served up. But I draw the line at raisins.

Unless it’s tomatoes I’ll keep all other fruit out of curry, not a fan at all.

Depending on what kind of curry you are talking about, I just wouldn’t go for a sweet curry, pretty familiar with curry, if I had to add a fruit, it would only be coconut ??

Answer. Botanically speaking, a coconut is a fibrous one-seeded drupe, also known as a dry drupe. However, when using loose definitions, the coconut can be all three: a fruit, a nut, and a seed. ... Coconuts are classified as a fibrous one-seeded drupe.

Thats the copy/paste of first answer from google search. If you think I am saying something strange, doesn’t bother me. Please do whatever you wish.

I used to put pineapple in a butter chicken curry, adds a good sweetness.

But the standard tomatoes and peppers work a treat, or citrus- orange in a jalfrezi or lemon?

Authentic foods using meat with fruit may seem weird to some of us but normal to them.

We eat turkey and cranberry

Duck with orange etc

So chicken with mango so not in anyways weird.

Not crazy about it, except for mango. I imagine pineapple & pomegranate would be good, too. I've made delicious hot sauce with all before.

I love hot spicy prawns with a squirt of lime over them.

Swordfish with pomegranate is nice too.

Fish with lemon - that’s protein and fruit too.
