Measure 1 tbsp. of golden curry powder--a common, less spicy curry as opposed to green and red curry powders.
Add the curry powder to a 2-quart mixing bowl. Stir in 2 cups of warm water to create a thin, watery solution that reeks of the strong curry powder spice.
Stir in 2 tsp. of cornstarch to thicken the sauce.
Cook the sauce on top of your stove in a saucepan for 20 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the thick, golden curry sauce to chicken, shrimp or vegetarian dishes.
Add 2 tbsp. of red curry powder to a 2-quart mixing dish.
Add 2 tsp. each of celery salt, garlic powder and dried, minced onions.
Add 2 cups of all purpose flour. Mix the contents of the bowl with a fork to thoroughly blend the curry powder throughout the flour. Add the breading mixture to shrimp dishes and other meats.
