Steps:
- Heat the butter in a large saucepan over a medium-low heat and tip in the onions, garlic and ginger and fry for 12-15 mins until soft but not coloured. Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, raisins, vinegar and star anise, and fry for 1 min more, then pour in the chicken stock, bring to the boil and simmer very gently for 30 mins, stirring so it doesn't catch on the bottom.
- Lift out the star anise, mix the cornflour with 2 tbsp water and stir into the sauce. Simmer for 5 mins, stirring constantly until you have a thickened silky sauce. Pour into a blender and blitz until smooth, or use a hand blender. Squeeze in lemon juice to taste. Use this sauce to make a curry for your Christmas leftovers whether its sprouts, turkey, or simple roast potatoes. If freezing the sauce, leave to cool, pour into a container and freeze, then defrost and reheat when you're ready to eat.

CHIP SHOP CURRY SAUCE
In the Northern part of England it is very common to go to a fish and chips shop and order chips with curry sauce. The curry sauce you get in chip shops is different from the sort you would get on an actual curry at an Indian takeaway. It tends to be a bit sweeter and considerably more mild in spicy heat. People eat it either poured all over their chips (ie steak fries) of in a pot on the side where they dip their chips. I found this version on a blog and it sounds very close to the type I enjoy.

Steps:
- For the curry sauce, heat a large frying pan until hot, add the butter, onion and chillies and cook for 10 minutes, or until golden-brown and softened.
- Add the plain flour and curry powder and cook for a couple of minutes.
- Add the cream and chicken stock, return to a simmer and cook for 5-10 minutes.
- Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir through the coriander and finish with the lemon juice.
- For the fish and chips, preheat a deep-fat fryer to 190C/375F. (CAUTION: Hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended).
- Meanwhile, sprinkle the yeast and sugar into a mixing bowl. Pour over the beer and vinegar and whisk in the flour and salt. Leave to ferment - it is ready to use when the mixture starts to bubble.
- Dip the sole fillets into the batter and deep fry until golden-brown and cooked through - about 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
- Add the potatoes to the deep-fat fryer and fry for 3-4 minutes, or until golden-brown and crisp. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside to drain on kitchen paper. Season with a little salt.
- Serve the fish and chips on serving plates with the curry sauce in a jug. Pour the sauce over the fish and chips just before serving.
Tips
- Use fresh cod or haddock for the best results.
- Make sure the fish is well-coated in the batter before frying.
- Fry the fish in hot oil until it is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve the fish and chips with tartar sauce, mushy peas, and curry sauce.
- For the curry sauce, use a good quality curry powder and add a little bit of sugar to balance out the heat.
- If you don't have any curry powder, you can use a teaspoon of ground cumin, coriander, and turmeric.
- Add a little bit of vinegar to the curry sauce to give it a tangy flavor.
- Serve the curry sauce hot.
