1.
Peel the pineapple, apple, and banana; slice into thin wedges or small cubes. Set aside about one‑third of the pineapple pieces. Dice the onion finely. Heat the ghee in a pot and sauté the onions until translucent. Sprinkle the curry powder and turmeric over them and cook briefly to bloom the spices. Add the fruit pieces and stir for a moment. Pour in the coconut milk, chicken broth, and whole milk; bring to a boil and simmer for 15–20 minutes. Remove from heat and blend with an immersion blender.
