real base sauce taught by Indian chef | Home

real base sauce taught by Indian chef | Home

5 or 6 large mild onions
50g cellery
100g white cabbage
100g carrot (about 1 medium)
50g green or yellow pepper (doesn't matter, seen him use both)
10g curry powder
2g garam masala
1 tsp salt
1t-spoon chopped corriander stalks
about 5 or 6 plum tomatoes. (about 1/2 410g tin)
25g garlic/ginger paste
1 cup of veg oil

method
place onions and veg in stock pot.
fill just below level of veg. bring to boil and simmer for an hour or so. when onions break up is correct. now add tomatoes. add salt whenever you want.
add spices and leave sitting on top while frying garlic/ginger seperately until browned. now pour garlic/ginger and oil over the veg/onion pan but be careful as this sizzles like crazy but fries the spices on top without burning due to water content and the smell is amazing. cook for a further ten mins or so and add corriader stalks and remove and blend. job done. should be soup like consistency. can post pics but don't know how
let me know how you get on
