Restaurant Style Gravy

Hi, today I am going to present a recipe for a simple restaurant style gravy that you can make and store for use whenever you want to make side dishes for roti or rice.We all look to eat at a restaurant for the unique flavour of the gravy which we are never able to achieve at home. This is pretty simple and i normally make a batch to last me for side dishes twice.it stays fresh for about two weeks under normal refrigeration. You could also freeze it though if you choose to make larger quantities. So without much ado,,,, here we go.

Preparation Time : 10 minutes
Cooking Time : 1 hour
Makes about 2 cups of gravy

Ingredients

Onion - 2 large
Carrot - 1 medium
Capsicum - Green and any colored 2(half each)
Cabbage - a small chunk
Green Chilli - 2 small
Coriander - a handful with stalk
Ginger Garlic paste - 2 tsp
Tomatoes - 2 medium
Chilli powder - 2 tsp
Coriander Powder - 2 tsp
Cumin Powder - 2 tsp
Turmeric Powder - 1 tsp
Curry Powder - 2 tsp (Optional)
Salt - 2 tsp
Oil - 1/4 cup
Water - 1/2 cup + as mentioned in the recipe

Procedure

1. Chop all the vegetables into big bite size chunks. Put them in a cooking pot
2. Add the ginger garlic paste and oil and water and cook covered for about 40 minutes till the veggies are soft.
3. Cool and blend into a puree, if not very smooth slightly grainy
4. Add the spice powders and water approximately equal to the quantity of gravy and allow to cook again on low flame till oil floats on top.
5. The gravy is now ready. You can use it straight away to make your side dish or refrigerate / freeze them depending on the quantity you have made.
