"This sauce is absolutely delicious because of its complexity and depth, being all at once sweet, salty, smoky, and toasted. The beauty of such a simple and exotic sauce is that you can make it in a small saucepan in under 10 minutes and then toss it with vegetables, chicken, fish, seafood, tofu etc. Nutrition info for entire sauce recipe (though it is enough to coat a 2-4 serving meal): Calories: 213.6, Fat: 11.7g, Carb: 30.9g, Fiber: 0.3g, Sugars: 18.9g, Protein: 2.7g.

Wonderful flavour for such a quick curry sauce! I doubled the recipe and used Madras curry powder (maybe a wee bit more than stated). Served it over poached chicken breasts. The rest will see steamed veggies tomorrow. Another keeper Linda! Made for Billboard Recipe Tag.

I love curry dishes, this sauce is quick easy and oh so good! I have made it as posted and thinking to those with dietary issues I have made it using a sub for the brown sugar and xanthan gum for thickening. We have had no problems with the xanthan gum but then we only use it on occasion. Yes it is a curry that is company worthy and have just now printed an extra copy for my recipe drawer to have close at hand.

Every once in awhile I want some easy curry flavor, such as curried shrimp, or just some sauce on rice and this fits the bill perfectly. Easy and fast, without a lot of prep work. The only change I made was to double the recipe. Great flavors. Served it on pan fried salmon fillets.
