At what point did you think you saw a garabi machine, Mike ?  The only machine I saw in operation was between 3:11 and 3:25, and looked distinctly like a mango press to me (making mango pur

Hi Phil

Is that what it is? If so, then I presumed wrong.

But the large pot on the stove top can only really be base. Again, I was surprised to see this in India. Thinking it was invented in British curry houses.

I found that very interesting.

Yes indeed, also that was a very insightful glimpse of the mango canning industry. It certainly makes me glad I don't have to slave to make ends meet these days!

Back to base gravy though. It's a wonder why tins like that havn't been produced commercially for the restaurant industry. Save them time and faff if efficiency is of the essence. I mean, after all, they use commercial Pataks pastes etc...

I fear I may have just swore at the purist BIR population.  ;D

It's bad enough now without this thought.   Some hark back to the 80's and what can't seem to be achieved.  If this happens, at least we know we're safe in that we should be able able to replicate the curies of the 90's and later  ;D

It was a kind of tongue in cheek comment although I must admit, the entrepreneurial side of my mind started churning a bit when I thought of it.

Did Knorr not start selling catering gravy packs a few years ago if i remember correctly?
