Simplest curry sauce recipe

[ChrisGreaves]

1 tablespoon flour (20 g)
1 tablespoon butter (30g)
Melt gently and mix to a smooth paste

1 tablespoon curry powder
Add to paste and mix to a smooth paste

Warm 1 cup of milk.
Stir in paste gently, avoiding lumpiness.
Bring close to boil.

I've boiled vegetables in this (potatoes, carrots,, parsnip, turnips, chopped broccoloi stalks, onions) and made a love;y curried-vegetable dish.
I've marinated chicken breasts in this.
I've marinated steak in this.

And I like that I can make a double batch and store half in a lidded jar in the fridge for a few days.

How do you boil veggies in this sauce? Wouldn't it become a sticky mess?
I admit that I haven't tried this one out yet, but it makes more sense to me, if I'd steam my veggies first and then pour the hot sauce over them?

I put the sauce in a, well, a sauce-pan, of all things, then I drop in the vegies and bring it to the boil.
Boil for as long as it normally takes to cook the veg (depends on thickness of slices etc).
No sticky mess. I like my vegies CRISP. maybe that's why I'm called CRISPOPHER.

The recipe I saw mentioned that the sauce could be poured over pre-cooked food, and I think I'd do that too.

But for most dishes I'd want to sauce/flavour to seep in, so I'd soak/marinate/cook in sauce, rather than cook in water and then pour over.
Give it a try. I's not the world's best sauce, but it's fast to make, and the tblspoon/cup quantities are suitable for a dish for 4 people.

P.S. the day I end up with soggy curried vegies is the day I embark on pureed curried vegie soup!
