"Despite the simplicity of this recipe, it is
delightful and subtle, although this depends very much
upon the quality of the basic ingredients used." IMH
Melt butter, and soften the very finely chopped
onion over gentle heat. When tender, but not browned,
add curry powder (which should be of good quality, and
ideally home made) and continue cooking 1-2 mins. Stir
in flour and cook to make a roux for a further minute
or so. : Remove from heat and when slightly cooled,
gradually stir in stock and milk. Return to heat and
stir while bringing to the boil. When boiling, reduce
heat and simmer gently 15 minutes or so.
Add coconut milk (or creamed coconut if the milk is
unavailable) and stir to incorporate. Strain, correct
seasoning and reheat. Serve with a little cream
marbled on the surface, and a slice of lemon.
