Hi Abdul

"I do not use basic gravy, I use well advanced gravy; the simple reason is because my customers are 98% asian and they do not like any sweetness at all. So I use all the above items in different stages of making the gravy."

If you don't mind, can you answer a couple of queries that this from your last post raised in my mind?
1.  What's the difference between 'basic gravy' and 'advanced gravy'?
2.  You mention using items like yoghurt, lemon juice, fresh and plum tomatoes 'in different stages of making the gravy.'

I've been making batches of your base gravy since you first posted the recipe and don't recall either of these 2 appearing.  Have I missed something.............or are you talking about something completely different?  It may be that I have simply 'lost the thread'!

Thanks

Hi Alarmist,

Thank you for your question, the gravy recipe which I had posted on here was basic so that everyone can start making it and practice. There are a few different types of gravy in the BIR you can make which we all have touched upon. I am hoping next year I will add another type of gravy which has more stages and involves the other items.

I specifically use an advanced gravy because of my customers strong preference.

Basic gravy is what I have posted and Advanced gravy has more stages to it which after you taste, will be different from a Basic gravy. However, it will be up to you whether you wish to stay with either gravy.

thank you Abdul will look forward to it

Jesus Christ, does no-one study grammar at school any more ?

"That" is not spelled "correct", it is spelled "correctly".
There is not a "spell checker", there is a "spelling checker".

The pair of you, twenty lines each, to be handed in before this time tomorrow :

Hotstuff : "I must remember that there is a spelling checker at the bottom of the page"
Ifindforu : "I must remember that words are spelled correctly, not spelled correct".

Class dismissed.

Spot on Abdul, 100% agree with your comments ;D

HS

After talking to a few of my colleagues (around the uk), they all agreed to what I had said also, but we also thought the chef who is adding ghoor to a gravy is probably experimenting something new or the customers there prefer sweet flavoured dishes.

Normally, some of the ingredients we add to the gravy is to take the sweetness away from the onions and only add sweetness to it if the dish required it.

I am looking forward to the results from those who will try it.

asalam alykum so what could you tell the members here what you would add to a gravy to take the sweetness out of it

Walaikum Salam,

In order to take sweetness out of the onions, you can use; lemon; fresh tomatoes; peeled (plum) tomatoes; and yoghurt.
You can use either one of the above items, or all of them. Depending on what you prefer or what your customers prefer.
For example, for my restaurant, I do not use basic gravy, I use well advanced gravy; the simple reason is because my customers are 98% asian and they do not like any sweetness at all. So I use all the above items in different stages of making the gravy.

Am I correct in saying one curry basic base is ok for home use and one advanced base is for comercial use (buisness) if you know what i mean but its the buisness taste base everyone is looking for on this site/ so why not tell us the advanced gravy

Ray,
I do prefer fresh always, the trick is not to overcook it when pre cooking,
The timing is then important when making the curry that you are only reheating the meat and not overcooking it.
Cheers,
Mick

i was with my bengal boss in a market,he bought a load of fresh chicken cheap,but he give it all to me as he precooked the way ive put down,but the chicken was slightly tough.He uses murghee for chicken dishshes and Sardia for tikka being less water as he says it cooks faster less water.But having plenty of time I use murghee for all
I suppose a time limit could be set for fresh breasts,but the mix is the way I see him doing it He has shown me lots of times
