Sprinkle on the curry powder and turmeric, then add the flour a little at a time, stirring to combine with the other ingredients. Make up a litre of chicken stock using the stock cubes and pour in a little, stirring well, then add a bit at a time until it is all well mixed in. Add salt and a good grinding of black pepper and leave to simmer, covered, over a low heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
