I think that it would, any fatty additive does. Traditionally people use yogurt
and/or coconut.

I don't know about taste, though :)

Curry with cheese? It doesn't sound very appetizing.

It smelt downright vile.

<ducks>
It can't be as bad as curry on its own!

You should try paneer curry if you get the chance then, it can be quite 
good, though the cheese is admittedly pretty dissimilar to cheddar.

Relatedly, I have yet to eat anything that didn't taste good with 
cheese, so I can totally see why he'd do this.

I don't think I  get that ... do you mean that cheeses dissimilar to cheddar 
are unlikely to be good?
Then please define "good" ;-)

I think he meant that the taste of cheddar may not compliment the taste 
of curry well, but a different flavoured cheese might be okay with it.

That way?
"it can be quite good, though, the cheese is admittedly pretty dissimilar
to cheddar."

It means something completely different doesn't it? :-)

Apparently I need to give mote thought to my sentence construction.  I 
didn't realize this was worded so badly!

At any rate, Jim got what I intended.  The latter part of the sentence, 
"though the cheese is admittedly pretty dissimilar to cheddar" was 
intended to be interpreted like the following:

"Although I have just said that paneer curry is delicious, I am aware 
that paneer and cheddar are very different cheeses, so it is entirely 
possible that your son's cheddar curry would not taste very good"

I think it can mean both things.

Either: "it can be quite good, *although* the cheese is admittedly 
pretty dissimilar to cheddar."
or: "it can be quite good, *even though* the cheese is admittedly pretty 
dissimilar to cheddar."

but I am only a non-native speaker.
