If you like your Indian curry sauce to be smooth blend before adding meat or vegetables. Also add

Alternatively, if you prefer vegetables add…

Yes, I make batches of the sauce and freeze it in meals size portions. This can be frozen for up to 2 months.
For a milder version, leave out the chilli powder and add some Greek Yoghurt.
In contrast, add extra chill power to the pan for a hotter version. Or chilli sauce when it’s on the plate for houses with split tastes on curry heat.
You can make a larger batch of this curry sauce and freeze it in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
Homemade curry sauce can be served with rice, naan bread, or any other type of bread. You can also serve it with vegetables or meat of your choice.
