Cooking is a special art in which not everyone is proficient. When we go to restaurants, we always get the same taste. While when cooking at home, sometimes the gravy turns out to be perfect and smooth, sometimes it turns out to be watery. In such a situation, it becomes difficult to understand where the mistake is happening.
The consistency of gravy is a key element of any dish. If you are also trying to make perfect gravy, then you need to adopt some simple tricks. Come, let us tell you some easy tips by which you will be able to make balanced and tasty gravy.
The base of the gravy determines its thickness. For example, if you increase the amount of onion in the gravy, it becomes thick and sweet. At the same time, excess of tomatoes makes the gravy thin and sour. If you want creamy and rich taste, it is better to use cashew paste.
When you are making the dish, it is essential to follow every step of the gravy. It is very important to roast the spices correctly. If you skip this step in a hurry, the gravy will never turn out perfect. So, keep in mind that fry the gravy until the oil separates. This process makes the gravy stable.
Sometimes the gravy becomes thin, but you need not worry. You can use thickening agent. Cashew paste brings creamy thickness, while boiled onion paste acts as a natural thickener.
Many times, while making gravy, people add all the water at once, due to which the gravy becomes watery. Therefore, always add water slowly and little by little. This will give you control and the consistency of the gravy will also be correct.
