Cut the turkey or chicken into bite-sized pieces (then marinate with a little oil, curry powder, salt, and pepper). Chop the onion and bell pepper, and press or mince the garlic and ginger. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan. Add a little Madras curry to the hot oil and fry briefly. Add the onion, stir, and fry until translucent. Add the garlic, stir, and fry briefly. Add the ginger and the meat. Stir and fry everything until lightly browned. Now add the desiccated coconut, stir, and brown everything (caution: coconut burns quickly). Add the mushrooms, stir, and fry briefly. Add the bell pepper, stir, and fry briefly. If everything browns too quickly, deglaze with a little pineapple juice and/or canned mushroom liquid. Add the pineapple (if it hasn’t been deglazed yet, deglaze with a little pineapple juice now). Finally, add the figs and deglaze everything with the coconut milk. (You might also want to add a dash of fig juice.) Now season with salt, pepper, vegetable stock, and soy sauce. This dish can also be prepared very well with fresh ingredients instead of the canned fruit or mushrooms. I’ve cooked both versions (and always get a lot of praise). The pineapple should be nice and ripe, though, and unfortunately, fresh figs bought here are never ripe enough. So it’s better to use canned figs. A dash of white wine also goes very well with this dish, and of course a glass with the meal! Basmati rice and a fresh salad go very well as side dishes.
