This is a blend of about 6 different curry recipes! To reduce the fat content I use sunflower oil instead of the traditional ghee and milk rather than table cream but the sauce still has a wonderfully creamy texture. My family love it with seafood or chicken and vegetables and it freezes well too.

Wanted to make this non-dairy and therefore I used soy milk and substituted the half-and-half with coconut milk. Did not use the sugar, I think the soy milk is a little sweeter than normal milk. Decreased the oil to 2 tbs (which was sufficient) and added a dash of red pepper flakes. The sauce is real creamy and has a very nice taste and heat. It even goes well as a spaghetti sauce! And, indeed, it freezes well. Thanks for posting. Made for My-3-Chefs, November 2009.
