This medium-hot Chinese curry sauce is a copy of the standard curry sauce available in chip shops and Chinese take-aways throughout the UK.
Ingredients
1/4 tsp garlic powder 
1/4 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp turmeric
2 tbsp plain flour
2 tsp hot Madras curry powder
1 tsp sweet paprika
1/4 tsp chilli powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2-3 cloves of garlic, very finely chopped
1 inch piece of ginger, peeled and very finely chopped
water
Directions
1. In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, sugar, turmeric, plain flour, curry powder, paprika, chilli powder and salt.
2. Heat the oil in a small pan over a low heat. Add the chopped garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or until just beginning to brown.
3. Add the bowl of combined ingredients and leave for 30 seconds. Stir-fry for a further 30 seconds. This will become very dry.
4. Add water a little at a time, stirring constantly until well combined. Continue adding water until a thin sauce is created. Bring the mixture to the boil, reduce the heat slightly and simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently until the sauce reaches its desired consistency.
5. Pour the sauce into a bowl or dish and serve.
