Use wheat flour, rice flour, or coconut flour plus a fat (like ghee, olive oil, or coconut oil) in equal amounts. Cook both ingredients for a few minutes to cook out the raw flour taste, then add your curry ingredients. Once the whole curry dish comes to a boil, the sauce will thicken.

If your curry is too runny, there are a few simple ways to thicken it. Try mixing in a few spoonfuls of thick, unflavored yogurt. If your curry is tomato-based, you can use tomato paste as a thickener. For curries with potatoes in them, simply mash a few of the potatoes as they cook and combine them into the sauce. A spoonful of arrowroot or equal parts cornstarch and water will also do the trick. Another option is to combine a couple of spoonfuls of flour with an equal amount of cooking fat, such as butter, to keep the flour from clumping up in the sauce. Spoon out about 1 cup (237 mL) of curry sauce into a separate container, mix the flour and fat mixture into it, and stir it back into the rest of the curry. Your curry will also thicken as it cooks, so try reducing the heat to low and letting it simmer for a few more minutes at the end of the regular cooking time.
