Ingredients
  • 1/4 cups Butter or margarine
  • 2 whole Cloves garlic -- mashed
  • 1/4 cups Onion -- minced
  • 1 tablespoons Curry powder
  • 3 tablespoons Milk
  • 1/4 teaspoons Salt
  • 1/2 cups Beef stock or bouillon
  • 1/2 cups Raisins -- (optional)
Directions
  1. 1
    Place a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the butter or margarine, allowing it to melt completely.
  2. 2
    Add the minced onion and mashed garlic to the pan, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent.
  3. 3
    Stir in the curry powder and cook for another minute to toast the spices and release their aroma.
  4. 4
    Pour in the milk and salt, stirring constantly to combine with the butter and spice mixture.
  5. 5
    Reduce heat to low and simmer the mixture for 10 minutes, stirring often to prevent sticking.

    Add the beef stock and raisins (if using) to the saucepan.
  7. 7

  9. 9
    Remove from heat and serve warm, brushing or drizzling over grilled chicken or lamb.
