Title says it all: that yellow-orange, creamy sauce that's a little spicy, a little sweet and has a nuttiness to it. I can't really find a recipe that describes what I'm talking about, but I know it contains:
- Cream or yogurt
- Coconut milk
- Curry powder or cumin, chili powder, tumeric etc.
Unfortunately my experiments in the kitchen tonight lacked any coconut milk, and the result was very sour yogurt with a tiny kick to it (it was awful). I don't know if coconut milk will solve this, so if anyone has a recipe they use, would they be so kind as to share it?

then - and only then - you can make up the gravy. i use crushed cashews, more butter, cream and a tin of tomatoes. that's more of a butter chicken recipe, but it'll give you that rich orange sauce you want and it'll be bloody good
i'd link the recipe but i can't seem to find it and it's become second nature to me so i don't really know exact quantities.

I buy it at world market. Half a jar makes me two good meals. 4 bucks a jar.

Far better than what i've had in most restaurants, it has a bit of preparation but overall is pretty easy to make
but the sauce is generally a combination of the wonderful oils generated from cooking down the marinated chicken in the butter, and mixing it with tomato and cream
Ohh, alright. Sounds like a good bit of work, but I'm in for it!
Whoa. Malware detected.
I was going to check out the recipe to see if it calls for a list of spices, or "curry powder". I've made curry a lot the last year or so, and I've come to realize you just can't depend on grocery store curry powder.
Maybe I can get a recipe from her later. The Egg Curry she makes is really good, and the potatoes almost melt in your mouth.

There isn't even curry powder in it? Would you mind elaborating, I'm thinking of trying this recipe but got confused by your comment.
And I agree, if I ever see a recipe that is based on curry powder I don't even give it the benefit of a doubt.
Oh damn, my man Alton did an episode? Sign me up.
