Hi Jerry
After reading jb's excellent takeaway base gravy, you should add the garlic tarka to the smokey taste section. ie
? Smokey taste
- base at high temperature with thinning water allows oil to burn producing smoke
- escaping smoke through base gives smokey taste
- adding base slowly helps maintain pan temp typ 180 to 200C (maillard)
- adding more oil increases effect typ range 4 to 9 tbsp
- adding finely chopped garlic tarka fried until golden brown to the finished gravy
