    1 tbsp oil
    2 Tbsp butter

    1 cup unsweetened flake coconut

To make the sauce: melt the butter and stir in the curry powder and cook over low heat for 2 minutes; do not let it scortch. Stir in the flour and pour in the coconut milk. Bring the sauce to a boil, stirring it and season it to taste, for 2 minutes.
