How to make Chinese Curry

Chinese curry from the takeaway is easy enough to make as this recipe shows. Most Chinese takeaway food is thickened with Cornstarch to give the sauce a translucient texture.

In this recipe we have used flour and water to make a roux, but you can use a cornstarch slurry to give it a more authentic look.

The great thing about curry and Chinese curry in particular is that you can throw lots of veg into it. We have made this recipe with peas.
