      Same here re Indian takeaways ~ I’ve lived in France for the last 21 years where there are some Indian restaurants but only in the big towns, I’ve become well versed in DIY curries and my French friends are converted 👍. I have been able to find (and pounce on!) authentic spices in some local markets and have, sometimes, been reduced to the little supermarket jars but your videos are masterful in giving me so many tips. Thank you 🙏

      ​@@nemo9540 no cream. Just do as the recipe suggests, freeze in portions that your chosen recipes usually use. It's basically like a base for about 20 different curries you just add things to it to make it into the different curries I find it easier to get restaurant tasting curries for such a small fraction of the price. You could also just refrigerate the curry already made You could even put them in those airtight tubs stored in the fridge ready to eat and heat when you feel you have the appetite that way less to do.

    My son is an incredibly picky eater for several reasons, and traditional dishes from the subcontinent tend to be the only ones he's excited to eat. (Gratefully, the rest of us love them, too!) We make daal almost every week, and his mom's a pretty deft hand at homemade paneer, especially for a white girl from Houston, Texas. 😄 THIS-a base gravy we can make at the weekend and freeze for the week-is the final key that will let us whip him up a mattar paneer or chana masala any night he's not interested in risotto, or homemade gnocchi, or ginger scallion noodles.
    You genuinely made our lives better by posting this video. Jazak Allahu Khair, and may your restaurant see every success. ❤

    Great idea, infusing the aromatics in water. I'll definitely try that next time!
    For mine, if I intend to freeze in batches (which I always do), I don't do the final dilution with water & cream. Instead, I put it in 250 mL portions into zip-lock bags and then freeze. When I want to use, I just let 1 bag defrost overnight, then add 250 mL water to the bag, zip it up again, massage until fully combined, pour it into a Pyrex jug and microwave on medium for a few minutes, then it's ready to go.

    Don't be afraid to let your gravy cool a little before blending. I usually give mine about 20 minutes. It makes no difference to the flavour, and will save your eyes if it does happen to spatter. It also helps if you take the pan off the burner you were using (especially if you're using an electric stovetop). It'll also make it safer if transferring to a jug blender.

    This looks really nice Latif! I am really inspired by your cooking. I want to share my little secret. Mexico food is also of my passion. I made a salsa as a condiment for my tacos but I found out that it is a perfect ingredient for a curry. The salsa is made of 4 green paprikas, 6-8 fresh tomatoes, 4-6 green chilies, 2-3 onions and 2-3 whole garlics. I put all the vegitables on a hot grill and char them really well. Let them cool in a close container, clean, rinse and blitz them in a mixer. I add a little bit of vinegar salt an sugar and it will last for quite a long time in the fridge.

This is really interesting to see how it’s done in restaurants… to see how thin the sauce/gravy is… it makes sense when I think about it now like if you are adding meat or whatever u need to cook it down so this gives u more room to play with. It’s just the opposite way of how I thought it might work. Thanks for sharing this.

I have come to the realisation that I’m gonna need a bigger pan though. I’m right at the brim of my biggest one and I’ve only added two litres of water. The masala water hasn’t even gone in yet. Haha. I may have to get the casserole dish out and split it after I’ve wizzed it all up.

    Cheers lat. I do use bay from my own tree fresh, just a tip for peeps out there if they have fresh bay leaves. Grab them off the plant, then preheat your oven to about 60 degrees c and leave them in there while you're prepping, check on them after 10-15 mins and you can then use them in your garam masala in hot oil without them spitting at you too much. If they're too wet you'll have them popping hot oil everywhere

    I've made my first batch(5 Litres) of your updated "Base Gravy" and I'm looking forward to using it!
    I could only find your Prawn Bhuna Curry video that mentioned "Onion Gravy" but no Fish/Seafood recipes that used "Base Gravy".
    Would you only recommend using "Onion Gravy" rather than "Base Gravy" for fish/seafood dishes?
    Just in case anyone is interested in Latif's most excellent dishes that use a "Gravy" - here are the ones I could find.
    Mentions of Base Gravy:
    1. Authentic Chicken Methi
    2. Lamb Rogan Josh (Short)
    3. Chicken Madras
    4. Chicken Karahi
    5. Chicken Jalfrezi
    6. Lamb Achari
    7. King Prawn Saagwala (Short)
    8. Cooking Master Class Chicken Tika Massala cooked by subscriber
    9. Methi Chicken (Short)
    10. Chicken Tikka Jalfrezi with Loaded Fries
    Mentions of Onion Gravy
    1. Chicken Tikka Bhuna
    2. Prawn Bhuna Curry
    I thought I found one that mentioned Makhani Gravy - but maybe I was hallucinating.

    I just spent my afternoon making base gravy, tomato pureé, ginger and garlic paste, pre-cooked chicken and then made your chicken madras recipe (I had to make it milder than I would like because my kids wouldn't handle a full strength one). I was so pleased with how it came out, and the kids loved it. I have tons of base gravy left over which I will freeze, and I plan to do lots more of your curries now. Really looking forward to seeing more recipes in this series and trying out some new dishes. One question I do have is how best to scale up for more people? Today I elected to just use two pans to make twice as much as i was concerned if I just doubled everything. up it would take too long to thin down and overcook the chicken.

    A huge thank you for your recipes and the way you present them. I went out and bought a dosa to make your naan. We don't use gas but, if you're careful, it works over an electric element also. I want to try my hand with the base gravy; can you point to some of your recipes where it's used. Thanks again.

    Tip: If you want to pressure can it what I do with base gravy to save freezer space don’t put already the cream inside - that should be added then at the processing the dish, which easy also could exchanged by coconut cream if u want to.
    Why? Cause with cream inside you can’t pressure can it which give you the option to store it for 1-2-3 years then without a problem.
