1. Melt the lard and add the flour and curry powder.
Stir well. Turn the heat very very low.


2. Add all the other ingredients and stir well. It's
important you try to break up the ingredients using a
blender or a rolling pin.


3. Keep the heat very low and continue stirring every
10-15 minutes, for 2 hours, until the ingredients have
broken up.

4. Divide into 4 and freeze 3 of them


5. To use the add 2 cups of water. Add sugar (very
small amount), soy sauce, monosodium glutamate and
salt.

6. Add 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric. put
liquid through a sieve and back in the pot again.

7. Make a roux with 2 tablespoon oil and 3 tablespoon
plain flour

8. Add slowly to liquid to prevent lumps
