    Add powder spices, mix well. Add tomato paste mox well and cook for 6-8mins on medium heat adding hot water each time the spices dries up.
    Add all Base Gravy ingredients and cook for 2mins on high heat, stir well.
    Place on medium to low heat, add enough hot water cover all ingredients (you can add more water so you wont need to add any later), put lid on and let it cook until all base gravy ingredients have soften (if water dries add more hot water)
    Once all small pot base gravy ingredients have soften allow it to cook down.
    Blend until very smooth just a tomato soup.

    Hi Babul, well I managed to get down to it and cook your base gravy today using the instant pot pressure cooker. And Wow it did everything from cooking the spices on the sauce function to the pressure cooked gravy which I programmed for 30 minutes. Everything was right for bliztsen with nothing sticking to the stainless steel pot. The texture and flavour is superb! But the final verdict will be decided when I make a vindaloo next week - I will keep you informed. Of course I will keep you updated. But the pressure cooker is definitely the way to go! Dave

It’s lovely to hear from you Dave and great to know that the base gravy came out good. I will definitely try making the base gravy using pressure cooker, I have one that I bought couple of years ago but haven’t used it yet. I look forward to hear the final verdict next week. Speak soon and take care 🙏🏼

    Great gravy recipe which is cooking as I type.
    One question I have is people in forums have pointed out that base gravy should taste bland once cooked and not like a lovely soup that I end up with, is this correct.?? and would you add more water to dilute the taste.??

    • @TheBengaliCook
      @TheBengaliCook  2 года назад +1

      Hey thanks so much for asking and a great questions, I would dilute it to a soup consistency but it shouldn’t be bland, if by bland people mean it shouldn’t be spicy then yes agreed otherwise it should have a nice subtle taste to it, where you can taste all flavours as this base gravy will form majority of the curry. Hope this helps and can’t to see which recipe you try first 😀

    Hi Babul, what I forgot to tell you that due to my mobility problems I couldn't see the need to prep the onions - it would have taken me probably 2+ hours SO I got someone to get me 3 frozen bags of onions from Tesco all prepared and sliced, and they were surprise, surprise very good quality! Even more amazing is that the fresh onions even from our local farm shop are terrible at the moment! After making your excellent base gravy I looked up on line and noticed that many other chefs/cooks just chuck everything into the pressure cooker including the oil, water (hot), spices and prepped veg, affix the lid and set the time for around 45mins. When it's safe to release the lid they remove the hard spices and then blitz until smooth. Then it's onto a medium saute mode with a glass not pressure lid on until the oil rises to the top. I will do mine this way next time as it will save me the effort and time - I will let you know how this works. Dave

      Hey thanks for asking, yes you can, in the fridge I would say 3-4days max but you can freeze the base gravy, put it into portions of 300ml approx ( per curry size) in a container/sealed bag and then just use it when you need to, place the base gravy in a pot on low heat and add a bit of warm water and let it unfreeze then you can use it. Just make sure you don’t reduce it too much hence add some water to help it dissolve and still have about 300ml per curry size. Hope this help 😊

      Hi, I’d say about 3-4days but here’s a what most home cooks do with base gravy, separate them in to portion of 250-300ml ( one curry portion as an example)and freeze them. This will last longer and when you need them just defrost/reheat on low flame, then make you curry. Hope this helps bud. 🙌

    Hi there Babel, just a thought as I will be making your base gravy next week probably on Christmas Day! Instead of cooking the pot of ingredients for over an hour I thought of using one of my pressure cookers, and adjusting the time to about 20mins. What are your thoughts? I also considered using the pressure cooker for cooking Lamb to the pre-cooked stage - any ideas? Thanks mate!

      Hi pal, yes pressure cooker will save a lot of time. I haven’t used it to make base gravy but am sure it will work fine as I have made lamb curry using pressure cooker which came out fine.
      For the lamb you can use this recipe if you like. I like my precooked lamb/chicken packed with flavours, if you wanted you can have it with on its own - little principle I have when it comes to pre cooking things.
      Go for it and enjoy, keep an eye out tomorrow as I will you will be able to download my tandoori BBQ cookbook from Amazon for free, if you like please give it a 5 star review as this helps me. . Here’s the link

      Regarding your cook book I will comment on it in a review as soon as I have read it! Look out over the next two weeks as I shall be making your base in the pressure cooker and put up my results. Cannot make it straight away as I need the red and green peppers and have to rely on someone doing the shopping and not allowed to drive at the present (doctors orders)!

    Ok so this where I am confused. Isn't a 'curry spice mix' home made or not, the equivillent of Garam Masala?

    • @TheBengaliCook
      @TheBengaliCook  Год назад

      Hey thanks for asking, garam masala is predominantly made is a mixture of different whole spices such as cardamom, bay leaves, cloves, star anise etc and mix curry powder is made with coriander, cumin, turmeric, paprika powdered/whole spices etc some will use cumin powder in their garam masala and similarly some use cardamom as an example in the mix curry powder. Hope this makes sense and garam masala is much stronger in flavour if used too much it will overpower the other flavours and in experience it doesn’t taste good. Hope this help and thanks again 🙌

      @TheBengaliCook  3 года назад +1

      Great question, big pot recipe was my favourite and it’s the first base gravy recipe I learned, specially with the little added extra ingredients enhance the flavours however with the small pot the spices are getting cooked for longer which is great and helps the flavours even more. Tbh I like both as the flavours are similar with subtle differences, if I had to choose it will be the bigger pot but I do find making the smaller pot easier, just needs a bit of time in the beginning and then leave it on medium low heat, few hours later its ready, I would advise to try both and see which one you personally prefer...hope this helps bud.
