You guys asked for it, so here it is. Makhni Sauce Master Gravy, a recipe very often requested by viewers, but seldom revealed by chefs, but in this video Head Chef Phool Prasad kindly shows us his full recipe making process for making Makhni Sauce Master Gravy.
MAKHNI SAUCE (MASTER GRAVY) RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
* Boiled & peeled Tomatoes
* Fresh Green Chillies
* Fresh Green Coriander
* Fresh Ginger
* Fresh Garlic
* Vegetable Oil
* Deggi Mirch (Mild Chilli Powder)
* Cinnamon Sticks
* Dry Bay Leaves
* Cloves
* Green Cardamom
* Mace
* Black Cardamom
* Salt
* Sugar
As the mixture stars boiling in the pan, it will increase in volume, so be sure to use a large enough cooking pot to prevent it from spilling out.
Please note that the above gravy is a tomato based gravy (which by itself is quite tangy) in the restaurant it's used alongside an Onion Masala (made using Onion & Tomato, Ginger & Garlic, homemade Garam Masala).
After making the Makhni Sauce (which is vegan), Chef Phool Prasad shares his recipe for making Chana Masala using the freshly prepared Makhni Sauce.
CHANA MASALA RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
* Oil
* Carom Seeds
* Garlic
* Boiled Chickpeas
* Makhni Sauce
* Onion Masala (Onion & Tomato, Ginger & Garlic, Homemade Garam Masala)
* Salt
* Mild Chilli Powder (Deggi Mirch)
* Chana Masala
* Green Coriander
* Ginger (cut into Thin Sticks)
When you visit an Indian restaurant, have you ever wondered how the fully cooked dishes arrive so quickly on your table? The "secret" to the chefs being able to cook & serve so quickly is in the pre-cooked gravies & sauces (also known as British Indian Restaurant (BIR) Gravy) which are prepared in advance. The actual processes for the sauces are quite time-consuming (as you will see in this video), but the efforts are very much worthwhile.
