Instructions

• 1 Melt butter in large skillet. Sauté the onion until it becomes translucent.
  Meanwhile, measure and combine the seasonings in a small container. Set aside.
• 2 Add the garlic, ginger, carrot, and seasonings: curry, red pepper, carrot, chili
  powder, turmeric, sugar, salt, and pepper. Cook until fragrant, but be careful
  not to let them burn.
• 3 Stir in the flour and cook for one minute more, stirring constantly so it
  doesn't scorch the bottom of the pan. The mixture will resemble a paste or roux.
  Slowly stir in the chicken broth, breaking up any clumps of flour. Bring to a
  boil.  
• 4 Add the chopped apple, reduce to a simmer, and cook until the apple is tender;
  about 15 minutes. Stir in the cooked chicken and cashews if using and heat
  through. Stir in the juice of 1 lime and serve over cooked rice.
