ഹോട്ടലിൽ സ്‌റ്റൈലിലുള്ള കറി ഗ്രേവികുറെ നാൾ ഫ്രിഡ്‌ജിൽ സൂക്ഷിച്ചു വെക്കാം/Restaurant Style Red Gravy

This restaurant-style red gravy can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for a week or in the freezer for 3-4 months. If you are storing in the freezer, it will be convenient if you freeze them in an ice tray and make cubes. Many curries like butter chicken, mutter paneer, vegetable curry, egg curry, fish curry, potato curry etc can be prepared quickly with this as the gravy. I will be sharing some of those recipes in my upcoming videos.

Onion – 2 big (Finely chopped)

Steps:

When it becomes hot, add onion, green chilly, ginger, garlic and cashew nuts.
When the onion starts to brown, lower the flame and add turmeric powder. Sauté till the raw smell goes away.
