What curry book was it you bought?
 
Today I made Petes peanut curry again but made it green day. Substituted the chicken for 3 large sweet potatoes reduced to 35 p :) its made 4 portions, 3 for the freezer, one for my tea tomorrow. I bet it's cost me a £1 :) I'll count 2 syns per portion. Tastes amazing :)

1 tin chickpeas
chicken stock
curry powder

blend chickpeas as much as you can using a hand blender
add chicken stock until it is the consistency that you like your curry suce
then add curry powder to taste

i add chicken/prawns/beef/quorn, mushroom and onion and it tastes and looks like my local chinese takeaway :D
