Try adding a tin of baked beans to it.
And use less liquid x

You could try adding a tsp of Arrowroot or cornflour for 1 syn - for the whole curry.

If you put potatoes into the curry they usually break down and make it nice and thick but if you don't want to do that just try some tomato puree with the tomatoes and less water.

If my curry's looking too watery, I just turn up the heat for the last ten minutes and let some of the water simmer away.

Remember that you can always plate up the curry with a slotted spoon! That way you leave behind some of the liquid. (Then, you can either discard the liquid - or, better, turn the heat right up and it will reduce pretty quickly.)

Adding some red lentils to a curry at the start of cooking will help to thicken it, as they naturally soak up excess liquid. Makes a nice thick sauce.

We use onions finely chopped in the blender.

I whizz my onions/garlic/ginger in the whizzer as it brings the flavour out and makes the curry less lumpy. Fry those for 5 min, then I add all my spices which, as they are powdery, also thicken it up quite a bit. Bit of tomato puree, coupla stock cubes, all helps.

Potatoes and lentils as other people have said also good thickeners.

If you put chick peas with it and remove and mash a couple of table spoons of them just before serving that will thicken it
