Cook together 2 apples and 2 onions in a frying pan with 50 grams ofbutter, when soft throw in about a cup of flour and your curry powder (not saying how much as the hotness varies so much) stir into a kind of roux (until theres no flour left that isn't coating the apple and onion) add stock. I usually put my mince in a pot and give it a quick boil, then use the water from that, as the stock. Stir until it thickens, then add a handful of sultana's and I usually cheat and add a couple of tablespoons of sugar as well, and salt and pepper to taste, add the mince, and simmer gently for at least an hour.

Mum always used to make this using leftover roast beef chopped in fine cubes also a diced carrot was added, along with diced apple and sultanas. I am not that big a fan of sweet stuff in savoury dishes, well certainly wasn't as a small child, but I used to love this, it all came to an end when my dad discovered real curries and started grinding his own spices to make SUPER hot curries using lamb-flaps as the meat - curry night went from being one of my favourites to one of my most dreaded!

I always put curry powder in pot first with butter & cook trying not to burn then add onion & saute, then meat. Next comes stock or water with what every you fancy soysauce, chutney or jam etc. I simmer & add diced apple sultanan/rasins, pineapple pieces if I have any & grated squash or pumpkin[thickens & sweetens curry] I never thicken with flour sometimes I add kiwi fruit & before serving add sliced banana & long shredded coconut. Serve on rice.

In between the starting of this thread by sammaia and the bumping of it by niffer13, I went to listen to a talk by celebrated chef Anthony Bourdain (the skinny New Yorker who goes around the world eating every part of the animal and presenting it on TV!).
He said the concept of 'authentic' is unreal because recipes are constantly evolving - like language.I'd suggest that you could say that nickyd's, jessie981's, tigerlilly16's, dezzie's and niffer13's recipes all represent 'authentic' 1970s New Zealand (maybe 1950s/1960s too) and they are just as valid as any others.
...and obviously much enjoyed by many nostalgic posters :)
