Topic: Perfect Base Gravy

[ramsdedm02]

Heres my recent base gravy I've done which is amazing and produces amazing curries.

Ingredients:

Halved Onions - Enough to fill large saucepan (6-7 Ltr Version) to the brim with 1 inch space at the top
2 Carrots - Chopped
1 Potatoe - Diced
1 Bunch of Corriander & Stalks - Chopped
1 Green Pepper - Chopped
1 Tin Plum Tomatoes
2 DSP Ginger and Garlic Paste
300ml Oil
1 TDP - Salt
2 X Chef Spoons - Mix Powder (How to make mix powder)
1 1/2 Cup Water - NO MORE


Method:

1 - Put all the onions, pepper, carrots, tomatoes, corriander and potatoe in the large pan and add the oil and water. Evenly distribute the salt over the ingredients.

2 - Place on a simmer (lowest light possible) for 3 hours. Make sure the onions are soft as well as the carrots.

3 - After 3 hours, add the mix powder and stir. Simmer for a further 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, turn off the heat and allow the mixture to cool for 30 minutes.

4 - After 30 minutes of cooling, blend and add about double the amount of hot water to get a thin soup like consistency.

5 - Once blended and thinned to required consistency, cook for a further 15 minutes to seperate the oil.

DONE!


Thought I'd post the recipe for anyone who want's a really decent base gravy.

ENJOY!

I haven't used any bases from this site. My first base was Julians base gravy he uploaded before chrismas and I've just changed it slightly. Many of the bases on here say to add like 2 litres of water to cook the onions which meant that it tasted very bland so this is the base I use from now on as it's quite sweet due to the amount of onions used.

I may add sugar such as Jaggery as this is something Julian adds on my next base.
