The yoghurt actually helps the spices penetrate into the meat when marinating.

This has been proven by Science.

Without that and the tomatoes (which melt and disappear as it simmers) you don't really get a proper sauce. Not a saucey sauce anyway. It ends up being more of a spicy broth - which is okay I guess.

i know

but i really don't like yoghurt in curry. mine was more of a garage curry quick fix anyway. i'm actually a very good cook, i didn't get this fat by accident! :D

Use creamed coconut instead.

Maybe not for the marinade though.

That's good for the sauce, but you need the fat content to get the spices to go into the meat.

I don't really understand all the Science of it, but I heard a scientist say it once on television and he had a beard and a white coat and everything.

If you're after fat content, coconut has much more than yoghurt.

I think it's the acid in the yoghurt that helps, but I may be wrong.

Yeah I recognise that mine doesn't really help PointlessCamel in his current predicament.

I tend to make a big ol' batch of it once a month and freeze it in individual portions.
