A great base sauce for use in all kinds of curries, what Indian restaurants use - my version is a distillation of several I've tried. I use my own home made curry powder without any chili so sauce is not hot, this allows better control of heat when using in curries but is not mandatory! Fresh chili can be added if preferred.

- Add the onion and fry for 3-4 minutes stirring frequently.

- Bring to the boil then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally Add the curry powder, sugar and salt and mix thoroughly, simmer for another 15 minutes.

- Mixture may be used immediately (see my balti recipe) or frozen and kept for upto 12 months- I use disposable plastic pint glasses.
