Method / Instructions
- 1. SautΓ© Aromatics: Heat 2 tbsp oil in a kadhai. Add 8–10 garlic cloves, 4–5 green chillies, and 2 medium chopped onions. SautΓ© gently until the onions begin to soften.
- 2. Add Tomatoes & Spice: Add 2 chopped tomatoes and salt to taste. Once tomatoes soften, stir in 100 g of Kaari Masala and mix thoroughly.
- 3. Simmer & Cool: Pour in 1 cup of water and let the mixture come to a brief boil. Switch off the heat and set aside to cool completely.
- 4. Remove Chillies & Blend: Remove the boiled green chillies from the mixture so the gravy does not become excessively spicy. Transfer the remaining mixture to a mixer-grinder and blend into a smooth paste.
- 5. Strain & Boil: Pass the blended paste through a fine sieve to eliminate any raw skin or texture. Pour the strained gravy back into the kadhai and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent sticking. Cool and refrigerate for up to a week. Jamjo ane Jamarjo!

Chef's Notes & Tips
Chef’s Note
- This Golden Gravy acts as a master base for any vegetable, meat, egg, or seafood curry in your kitchen without needing any additional spice powders.
Tips & Tricks
- Remove the boiled green chillies before blending to control the heat level precisely and prevent the gravy from becoming overly sharp.
- Stir constantly while giving the strained gravy its final boil so it does not catch at the bottom of the kadhai.
- Sieving the blended mixture removes any raw onion and tomato skins, yielding a velvety, restaurant-style consistency.
