Add the curry leaves and the onion and fry over a medium to medium–high heat for about 5 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent. So if you want to have enough sauce to cook a curry for four at the ready, I recommend freezing the sauce, before diluting it in portions of 350ml (1 3/4 cups). Don’t forget the onion bhajis to help make your curry into a feast! Do you have to make so much base sauce? Now add the tomatoes and just enough water (about 2 cups/ 500ml) to cover the vegetables and simmer for about half an hour. No problem. Here’s a good and authentic British Indian restaurant (BIR) vindaloo recipe for you. A version of the above linked recipe for vindaloo with base sauce and many other popular curry house recipes are in my cookbook “The Curry Guy Bible’.
If you are just going to be cooking for yourself or one other person, you could try them here. What sort of containers shall I use to freeze the sauce in? If adding yoghurt, you should whisk it in, one tablespoon at a time so that it doesn’t curdle. This looks like it takes a lot of time in the kitchen! You probably already have some if not all of these ingredients but if you don’t, they’re readily available at most supermarkets! I watched it being made. Only seven ingredients! With most Indian and Pakistani curries calling for many more ingredients, I was curious about how this simple curry would taste. You’ve got sweetness from the ketchup and mango chutney and a nice sourness from the mint sauce and lemon juice. As there really isn’t any hot spices in the curry, it is a good one to serve to kids and those who don’t like spicy curries.
Adding food colouring.
When you are happy with how your vindaloo is looking, stir in the vinegar and add the kasoori methi by rubbing it between your fingers.
Want to start your curry feast meal off with a bang? How about fried shop bought poppadoms or if you’re feeling ambitious, make your own poppadoms from scratch and serve them with coriander chutney, red onion chutney, and/or tamarind chutney. Here are a few curry house style recipes you can use this sauce in now! Scoop the mixture in batches into a blender and blend until silky smooth. I usually do this for about three minutes per batch. If you have a hand held blender, this stage will be much easier. If you are watching the calories as I am right now, you might also like to try my air fryer onion bhaji recipe. In this case, the sweetness comes from the sugar and mango chutney. The sourness is from the lemon juice and tamarind.Cooking the curries in a more authentic and traditional way just wouldn’t be possible in most restaurants as it would be too labour intensive, overly time consuming and not cost effective. Although I do have smaller recipes for base curry sauce, I always recommend making this large batch, just like they do at most curry houses. If you like a good curry, you’ve come to the right place. I have thousands of tried and tested curry recipes for you to try and new recipes are being uploaded weekly.

Wipe the pan clean with a paper towel. No need to make it sparkly clean. Pour in the oil and place over a medium high heat. If you’d like to make naans, why not try one of these? Instant naans, Peshwari naans, stove top naans, keema naans, garlic naans, tandoor naans(if you have a tandoor oven), or if you’re cooking outdoors, karahi naans. Pre-cooked meat and/or vegetables is also good to have on hand. Not only does it speed up the cooking process, it also adds another layer of delicious flavour. Working ahead… I have spent many years learning from some of the best curry chefs around. They have shown me their amazing recipes and they are here for you to try too. Getting these recipes rightThrow in the sliced onions and fry, stirring regularly for about 20 minutes until the onions are soft, lightly browned and translucent. The finished base sauce can be stored in the fridge for at least three days and it freezes very well. By the way, if cooking a real balti with base sauceis of interest to you, you will f ind plenty of authentic balti recipes here. How to store the base curry sauce Stir in the garlic and ginger paste and fry for about 30 seconds and then add the ground spices. Move the spices around in the pan until the onions are nicely coated and then add the sugar and chopped tomatoes. Fry for a further five minutes and then add the ginger and garlic purees and the all of the spices except for the turmeric.
Add the cardamom pods, star anise and Asian bay leaf, if using and allow these spices to infuse into the oil for about 40 seconds. Then stir in the chopped chillies and fry for another 30 seconds. Please use the suggested measures of base sauce as a guide. They are not in stone as many different things such as the heat of your pan and how many ingredients are in the pan can affect the amount of sauce you will need. Cooking curries in a more authentic Indian style works but the end dish is different. Curry house style curriesare famous for their smooth texture which is achieved using the base curry sauce. Infuse these spices into the oil until they become fragrant – 30 seconds should do the job. Be careful not to burn the spices or they will become bitter.If you’d like to make this curry into a feast, you’ve come to the right place. You could just go for a side of riceand I have some popular rice recipes for you here. It takes about an hour to make but don’t let that stop you!
