Course: Snack
Cuisine: British
Servings: 2 People (150ml)
Calories: 89 kcal
Author: Helen Best-Shaw
Ingredients

• 4 tsp cornflour (cornstarch)
• 1 tsp curry powder (or more to taste)
• 1/2 tsp Chinese Five Spice Mix
• 1/4 tsp Ground Ginger
• 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1 tbs Non diary Spread (or butter)
• 2 tsp Soy Sauce
• 2 tsp Chili Sauce (or more to taste)
• 240 ml Vegetable stock
• 1 tsp Lemon Juice (optional)

Instructions

1. Mix half the cornflour and all of the dry spices together in a small bowl
2. Melt the spread or butter in a small saucepan, add the cornflour mixture and fry for a minute, stirring all the time until fragrant.
3. Turn the heat down and slowly start to add the stock a few spoons at a time stirring all the time. Make sure it is mixed well before you add more.
4. Place the reminder of the cornflour in a small bowl and add a few spoons of the stock to it. Mix well. Add to the pan of sauce, stirring well.
5. Add the remainder of the stock, the lemon juice, and stir. Cook for a few minutes, stirring all the time, making sure to carefully scrape the sides and bottom of the pan.
6. With a gentle simmer the sauce will rapidly thicken. If it thickens to much add a little water.
7. Serve immediately with chips as a dip, or use for a curry sauce.

Recipe Notes
Season to your taste with extra curry or chilli.

The Chinese Five Spice blend is what gives the sauce that authentic takeaway Chinese Curry Sauce note - it is subtle, but very necessary.

It is really important to keep stirring and scraping the sides and bottom of the pan when making this, or you can en up with gelatinous lumps in your sauce. If this happens simply pass it though a fine mesh sieve.

This is what I use. Couple of quid from Tesco on the world food isle. Its nice, especially when you add a teaspoon of habanero powder to give it some kick.

The chip shops buy powdered stuff of whatever brand. There's no exciting recipe secrets to divulge. Our local chip van gave me a pot full of the powder once. I have curry sauce with everything for weeks.

This will not taste artificial and slightly dirty and therefore should be avoided in this context

I've tried the Bisto version, I didn't rate it as good as the Goldfish brand.
