Nice one
No problem!
Have been using this beauty of a base sauce from the site mentioned:
Base sauce:
3 Tbsp Ghee or veg oil
Spices 1
5 Cloves
6 Green cardomons
10 Black peppercorns
3 Cinnamon sticks
4 Dried Bay leaves
5 Onions Sliced
2 Inch piece of ginger finely chopped
3 Garlic cloves finely chopped
Tin of Toms blended
1 Tbsp Tom Puree
2 Tbsp Chopped Coriander
Spices 2
1 Tbsp Fenugreek
2 Tbsp Ground Coriander
2 Tbsp Cumin
2 Tsp Turmeric
2 Tsp chilli powder
2 Tbsp Paprika
1 Tsp Garam Masala
1Tbsp Salt (to taste)
1Pt water
Method:
Heat oil, stir fry spices 1 for 1 minute on medium heat then add Garlic and Ginger fry for 30 secs stirring continuously. Then add sliced onions and fry until soft. Mix in blended Toms, tom puree and fresh Coriander. Fry for a few more minutes.
Add all other spices (you may wish to make a paste and fry them separately first, but it’s not crucial) and fry for a few more minutes.
Add water stir and simmer for 30 mins.
Cool then liquidise.
Gravy is done
Edit: Think I'll make some now - take my mind off waiting!
