Instructions
In large non-stick skillet, heat half of oil over medium-high heat. Cook onion, stirring, for 2 min. Add garlic, ginger, curry powder, salt, pepper and cinnamon; cook, stirring, for 2 min or until onion is softened. Add chicken thighs; brown for 5 min on each side, adding more oil as necessary to prevent burning.
Reduce heat to medium; stir lemon rind and juice into pan. Cook, stirring and scraping up any brown bits, until juice is evaporated. Whisk flour into milk and gradually stir into pan with chicken stock and carrots. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer for 20 min, stirring occasionally, or until chicken is no longer pink inside and carrots are tender.
Stir in apples; cook, uncovered, for about 5 min or until heated through and stew is thickened. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Tips
For the Adventurous:
For a more exotic flavour, replace curry powder with Thai red curry paste. Replace lemon rind with 1 stalk of lemongrass, chopped; use dry white wine in place of lemon juice and add 1/2 cup (125 mL) dry red lentils with carrots. Serve sprinkled with chopped green olives.

I threw some frozen mango in during the last few minutes of cooking, it was a great addition to the stew.
It's also increasingly easy to grab some lemon grass paste in large grocery stores, it's a nice compliment to the regular recipe.
