Step-by-step Creamy Curry Sauce Recipe

Step 1: Gather the Ingredients

First and foremost, gather your ingredients to make the sauce. You will need turmeric, cumin, chilies (optional), ginger, coconut milk, vegetable broth, and flour for thickness.

You can use fresh or powdered turmeric and cumin, depending on your preference.

The vegetable broth adds a depth of flavor, and the coconut milk offers creaminess and richness.

Step 2: Cook the Aromatics

The aromatics are the spices that give the sauce its signature flavor.

In a saucepan, heat up some oil and sauté chopped onion and garlic until translucent and fragrant.

Add in the turmeric, cumin, chilies, and ginger, and sauté until fragrant for one or two minutes.

Step 3: Add the Liquid Components

Once the aromatics are cooked, add the coconut milk and vegetable broth and stir until well combined.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and let the sauce simmer on low heat simmering for ten to fifteen minutes.

The longer the mixture simmers, the richer the flavor and color of the sauce.

Step 4: Thicken the Sauce

To thicken the sauce, sprinkle flour over the mixture while stirring continuously.

The flour will act as a thickening agent, and it is best to sprinkle it in slowly to avoid clumping.

Cook it on low heat for five minutes or until the sauce has reached your desired consistency.

Step 5:

Add your veggies to the sauce and let everything simmer together for a few minutes.

This will allow the flavors to meld together and create a delicious, fragrant aroma that will make your mouth water.

Enjoy

Your golden creamy vegetable curry is now ready! Serve with a bed of fluffy white rice, which helps to balance out the spiciness of the dish.

This dish is ideal for a cozy night in or for a dinner party with friends.
