A SIMPLE CURRY SAUCE 
This is excellent for dressing up leftovers or for using when making casseroles.

1 tbsp. curry powder
1 tbsp. flour
1 tbsp. butter
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup whole milk or coconut milk

Rub together butter and flour until mixed. Stir in curry powder. Melt this slowly in milk, stirring until dissolved to avoid lumps. (If lumps happen, process in a blender until smooth).

Use this very basic and easy to prepare sauce to heat cooked and cleaned shrimp, lobster or crab meat (cooked - both imitation and real) or chicken.

Taste and add salt and pepper, as needed (the full amount of the salt may not be required).

Add corn starch to get it a little thicker if you use skim or 2% milk.

This is such a great easy recipe. I added sauteed onions and garlic, plus a touch of sweet/sour sauce to the recipe and it was delicious.

Thanks for posting.

Handy recipe. Simmer chunks of leftover beef in this for a few hrs & pour over rice. MMMMM I add a shake or 2 of garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, masala, thyme, black pepper & Chili powder. A tsp of tomato paste (more of ketchup or leftover pasta sauce) if I have it as well.

Yum. found my new quick sauce. I'll make it the way the recipe is listed next time. Read several sauce recipes prior to this one and accidently used a stick of butter instead of tablespoon it called for. Butter makes everything yummy but a stick is not ideal for a good diet. I added the seasonings that were suggested, too.

Used coconut butter instead of butter, added a few butter buds for taste, added a few drops of tobasco. Preheating the milk in a microwave makes for very easy blending without lumps. Excellent and tasty results.

Loved the basic curry sauce. Used it over baked cod fish... Mmmmmmmm. I used skim milk and it tasted great, although it was a little thinner. Can't wait to try it over pork, chicken and baked ham. Many thanks!

I melted the butter, then added the flour, and once it became a paste I added in the milk and whisked it pretty often. I used more than the recommended curry powder and added chili powder plus salt and pepper. The salt really brought out the flavor to me, I tasted it without salt and got a bit worried. Super easy to make!

Wonder!!!! I made it with half & half the mix the flour in the milk then let butter melt as it cooked. I put two heaping tablespoons of curry powder. It came out so creamy and delicious. Great recipe!!!!

 Pcmodded (United Kingdom) says:
It was good and creamy but need a bit more spice maybe it was the curry powder I was using. Maybe a chili or something to perk it up but if you aren't wanting a spicy curry then use this but would recommend it. Ty to the person who added it.

Making this now, I used coconut oil instead of butter. Put the paste in the pot and melted it slowly before whisking in the coconut milk and no problems with milk.
