Commonly Asked Questions

How do you thicken curry?

To thicken curry, there are several methods you can use.

One approach is to let the sauce simmer and reduce, allowing the liquid to evaporate and naturally thicken the curry.

Another option is to use a roux, a mixture of equal parts fat (usually butter) and flour, which is cooked until golden brown and then whisked into the curry to thicken the sauce.

Alternatively, you can create a slurry by mixing a starch (like cornstarch or arrowroot powder) with a liquid (such as water or broth) and adding it to the curry.

Coconut milk or yogurt can be incorporated to both thicken the sauce and provide creaminess.

Additionally, cashew or almond paste can be blended and stirred into the curry for added thickness and richness.

Remember to adjust the seasoning as you thicken the curry, starting with small amounts of thickening agents and gradually adding more if needed, as it is easier to add thickness than to undo an overly thickened curry.

Does coconut milk thicken curry?

Yes, coconut milk can indeed thicken curry. Coconut milk is naturally creamy and contains a higher fat content, which contributes to its ability to thicken sauces and curries. When added to a curry, coconut milk not only enhances the flavor but also imparts a rich and velvety texture. As the curry simmers, the coconut milk blends with the other ingredients, reducing slightly and thickening the sauce. The fats in the coconut milk help to emulsify and bind the ingredients together, resulting in a luscious and thickened curry. It’s important to note that the thickness of the curry will depend on the consistency of the coconut milk used. Full-fat coconut milk tends to be thicker and richer, while light coconut milk will yield a slightly thinner sauce. Adjusting the amount of coconut milk and simmering time can help you achieve your desired level of thickness. Whether you’re making a Thai curry, an Indian curry, or any other variation, coconut milk is an excellent addition for both flavor and texture.
