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).

Cracking recipe for Butter Chicken.... may need to back off on the flour and curry powder for a more mild curry. Very easy to prepare.

Brilliant recipe! Same sauce as I tasted in an expensive Indian restaurant! It's good to add simply to boiled rice as completed gravy.

A simple roux, but a great base. I substitute the butter with duck fat or bacon fat.

Very simple to make and tasty. I changed it up a bit and added more curry powder, a whole can of coconut milk, a teaspoon of cumin and a little bit of chicken stock. My family loved it!

I made this easy recipe and it is a "hit".
I will definitely be making this from now on. Better than store bought (especially since I know all of the ingredients).
Thank you

This is just a basic white sauce (bechamel) with curry added. For those who are amazed by its simplicity, just know that you can leave out or replace the curry and use this recipe many different ways. For example, replace the butter with meat fat drippings and it becomes a gravy.

When making any type of sauces, here is a quick tip REMOVE the cooking vessel from the Heat and stir in liquid, stir well, return to low /medium heat, constant stirring, preferably using a wooden spoon, as your sauce thickens /cooks there will be NO LUMPS ... believe me!
