Wash the vegetables: potato, carrot, and onion. Cut the potato and carrot into bite-sized pieces, and chop the onion. Clean the chicken and cut it into bite-sized pieces. If using beef or pork, also cut them into small chunks. Grate the apple if you want to add natural sweetness to the dish.

Step 3: Cook the Curry
After stir-frying the meat and onions, add the potatoes and carrots, stir for 2-3 minutes. Next, add the Korean curry powder, stirring well so the curry powder blends with the meat and vegetables. Pour in 500ml of chicken broth (or water) and bring to a boil.
Step 4: Simmer the Curry
Once it boils, reduce the heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender. If you want a milder sweetness, you can add grated apple while cooking. Add soy sauce, sugar, and adjust the seasoning to taste.
