 Preparation time: 45 minutes

 It's more interesting to combine spices than to use "curry powder."

 In a large skillet begin cooking onions and garlic in butter. After a
 few minutes add salt and spices. When onions are soft, add celery and
 mushrooms. You may want to add 1/2 cup water at this point, top help
 prevent sticking (and to make a nice broth.) Mix well, cover, and
 simmer about 5-8 minutes (low heat.)

 When celery is slightly tender, add apples and tomatoes (both in 1
 1/2" slices) and coconut. Mix and continue cooking until everything
 is just tender, not too mushy. (Additional water might be needed.)
 Turn off heat. Add honey and lemon juice; mix and let sit, covered.

 Serve curry after it has sat for a few minutes. It taste best when
 served over rice, with sauteed almonds on top.
