DO NOT ADD cornflower or anything else, just take some time to reduce it. The flavours will enfuse more, seriously just wait. x

The quickest and easiest way is too add corn flour. If you don't have corn flour, then use some flour that you have in your cupboard. Put about a teaspoon and a half in a small bowl and add some water and some of your sauce. Mix that together and then pour it into your sauce, after a while it should start to go thick, if it does, just keep repeating the process.

well by the time you read this you'll have dealt with it!!
hope you enjoyed it any way!!
but for future reference,
theres nothing wrong with using corn flour to thicken a sauce, it doesnt affect the flavour any and works a treat
add a little cold water to about a teaspoon of flour to make it liquid, if you add it straight to a hot liquid it just clumps and is horrible, do let the sauce evaporate off some first as well, but that takes ages and you risk burning it espescially if your entertaining guests at the same time, then just add the flour mix and stir till ready. :)

Hi, either use corn flour (bout teaspoon at a time) or let the sauce reduce down, without adding anything in, this will take about 10 to 15 minutes on a medium heat, pending how thick you want the sauce. Keep stirring it though
Goodluck

HI there!!! Just let the curry sauce simmer for a while, as it does it will reduce and form a thicker tastier sauce. You can also add mango chutney this will help. Even by adding some more chopped/sliced onions this will bulk it out some more.

Make a mixture of cornstarch and water/coconut milk and mix in a few teaspoons and bring back to a boil

Seriously, don't add cornflour. reduce it. If you add anything to it, you could try chopped onions that have been fried off in a separate pan. Or even peppers. Potatoes in curries only work if they're whole and unbroken.

Just boil it off! Take the lid off and reduce the liquid by evaporation . Be careful not to turn up the heat too much or it'll burn & ruin the taste.

put some potatoes in or use corn flour or arrow root any of these will thicken it up nicely .
