Curry Massalla Gravy Recipe

How to Make Curry Massalla Gravy

1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pan or pot over medium heat. Add 1 large onion, finely chopped, and cook until softened and translucent (about 5-7 minutes).
2. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Stir in 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, undrained, and cook for 3 minutes.
4. Pour in 1 cup of water, bring to a simmer, then add 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Simmer for 5 minutes.
5. Add another 1 cup of water, stir well, and simmer for a further 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
6. Continue stirring regularly to prevent sticking and burning.
7. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Carefully puree the sauce in a food processor or blender until smooth.
8. Return the pureed sauce to the pan and heat through. Adjust seasoning to taste before serving. Use as a base for your favorite curry dishes!
