¼ cup butter or ¼ cup butter substitute
2 tablespoons flour
12 medium onion, minced
14 carrot, grated
6 fresh button mushrooms, sliced
½ cup 1% low-fat milk
salt
1 tablespoon garam masala, indian spice
⅓ cup sake or ⅓ cup dry white wine
3 leaves flat-leaf Italian parsley (to garnish) (optional)

1
Saute onion and carrot in butter until softened.
2
Add flour and cook until flour taste is gone or until it is just about to turn brown.
3
Add milk and make a medium-thick sauce, stirring constantly.
4
Add mushrooms, salt and curry powder to taste.
5
Cover and let simmer until mushrooms are cooked.
6
Refrigerate until dinner time.
7
You can add more milk when you reheat if the sauce is too thick, but if heated in a covered pan I doubt you'll need to add more liquid.
8
Add a good dose of wine and let simmer -- be careful, you don't want to overpower the curry and other flavors.
9
Place meat in center of platter and pour sauce over top and drizzle down the sides.
10
Sprinkle fresh parsley and almond slivers over the top.
11
Around the meat arrange broccoli flowerettes, thick slices of carrot, and small boiled potatoes.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
