Worth Getting Right

• Cook the curry powder in the oil first to take away its raw taste.
• If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water; if too thin, simmer for 5 minutes more.
• Stir in a spoon of plain yogurt at the end for a creamier curry.

Swaps and Variations

• An eighth of a teaspoon of garlic powder per clove is the usual stand-in when you are out of fresh garlic — it will not caramelise the same way, but it carries the flavour.
