Ingredients

? 3 cloves garlic, chopped
? 1 inch piece ginger, peeled and chopped or sliced
? 2 tbs. plain flour
? 2 tsp. curry powder (Madras or similar from Chinese grocers)
? 2 tsp. salt
? 1/2 -1 tsp. chilli powder (depends upon how hot your curry powder is)
? 1 tsp. sweet paprika powder

Buy ingredients from a recommended supplier, Spices of India. For more information, see here.

Instructions

2. Heat oil.
3. Add ginger and garlic and stir fry for 1-2 minutes.

5. Add salt, paprika and chilli powder. Stir.
6. Add enough water, a little at a time, to get sauce consistency. Bring to boil and simmer briskly for a few minutes. Turn the heat off. This is the basic curry sauce like the ‘take-away, shops and people generally buy it with chips/French fries, as a dipping sauce.
