Oh Bumbi! What can i say? Your a life saver! Well for me anyway. This recipe and the follow up recipes on how to incorporate it are just out of this world. Thank you from a very grateful follower.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Thanks for your request to upload this video because now I’ve become a great fan of making base gravy thinking about how useful it is for some days.

[@lenagreen4031]

It's been well worth waiting for, and judging by the lovely comments, made a lot of people very happy. You truly are a godsend! Thank you so much for this. X

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Take care my friend and wishing you a quick post operative recovery.

[@BigboiiTone]

It's amazing how much sheer variety there is to be had. I have learned much and more from this channel 😊. Glad you have also

[@nathangrueber9834]

Sadly im not a fan of this technique. Il call it a technique not a recipe. My favorite indian resturant tango had a amritsari cheff and you could tell he cooked every dish undividually. Then the next time i went the cheff changed and i was instantly annoyed! You could tell right away every dish was the exact same base with a few pathetic additions.(cheap additiins). The guy even started making naans with beaten egg white and baking powder it was soooo eggy it was mostly egg white and little flour. I bet the guy used powdered egg replacer too. The first thing that went through my mind was "ooo you lazy so and so!!) Il never go back because you cant exactly check in at the resturant every now and then to ask if the cheffs left. My sister 100km away said her favorite indian has a new cheff. I said send me the menu. Exact same menu "amritsari bhunna chicken". And guess what wasnt on the menu the second time i was at tango? Amritasri bhunna chicken. So i think the cheffs being payed more to move to my sisters resturant. I have only ever cooked indian or chinese for 30yrs now. Its all i know how to do. My speed is far faster now. More chinese speed but with indian. I develope the flavours first the old fashion way then transferr everything into oven at 90c. That way it cant possibly dry out. And bake 2hrs. Easier than tending pots and checking. And it dosnt damage the meat stirring. Amritari bhunna chickens my fav next to vindaloo(Portuguese vindaloo not indian). Bhunna chicken is basicly vindaloo with garam masala and yogurt added

[@melodioushaste]

I used to make base sauces like this because I was selling both vegan and meat options. It was much easier to make a large batch of all-purpose sauce and customize the protein (tofu, beans, meat).

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

👍🏽👍🏽

[@kaybrown4010]

I really like the idea of putting the ground spices in water to prevent burning. That advice would have saved me when I was just starting to learn Indian cuisine. Thank you, dear Bumbi!

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Thanks for watching and leaving a comment

[@lanceuppercutt9329]

Super tip👍👍

[@Danielle_1234]

In Italian cooking water is added to the hot oil and then spices and other ingredients after. Everything is mixed in the pan. It has the same effect, the water limits the maximum temperature in the pan to 212 F / 100 C and eventually cooks off, so you don't have to measure how much water is added. This way you use less dishes than premixing everything in a cup.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

@Danielle_1234 even I do that when I am cooking and not filming. I show like this making it simpler for beginners. There is always a purpose when I am showing something on screen and I am for the beginners. I think in Italian cooking the number of spices will be lesser so the chances are less for the spices to burn.

[@andyc8707]

Garam masala burns which is why it goes in after stuff is cooked down, anytime you use garam masala - add a little water to prevent burning the spices.

[@user-sg7sb5br6d]

Wow❤

[@robincolton-zj4ob]

Excellent Base Gravy

[@vyvyhexe]

Hello! Thank you for this new video. Let me tell you something: I am quite the beginner at cooking. The other day, I was trying to make pancakes (don't make fun of me!) and flipping them over was near impossible. Then I heard Bumbi's voice in my head telling me gently that it's ok to use two spatulas to flip them. (I think you really said this in your rotis video). Anyway, THANK YOU for making cooking less intimidating 🤩🤩🤩

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Haha 😀. Even I fumbled while flipping a pancake when I first learnt it. Glad you find my videos useful.

[@dmbthegurl]

Don’t be afraid, as Julia Child said, if no one’s in the kitchen with you they will never know! Go for it!

[@h2ohydrox]

It's awesome that you're giving it a go.

[@donttalktomebye]

As someone who can be considered an intermediate to expert home cook, i STILL struggle with some of the basics, pancakes included sometimes! I can make intricate meals but I struggle to make a veggie stock that doesnt taste like shit. Its a process and sometimes what works for you isnt "the standard" but as long as its safe and it gets the job done, who cares!

[@alexk9295]

Here's a tip. Mix the melted slightly browned butter into the pancake mixture before making the pancakes. You'll never have a sticky pancake again

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

[@cavenavasagam6461]

I love the idea of mixing spice powder to water before adding into the hot oil. My grandmother used fresh masala for daily cooking. My aunt did the prep in the stone grinder and I used to watch her. Now I live in the US and working full time. I like quick and easy. 🙏

[@neilanthonyhaywardlewis8978]

What a fantastic base gravy, I will definitely be using your recipe, I see the perfect versatility of it ❤

[@MisterPineappleMan]

I need to try the recipe! I've been trying to think of ways to make weekday dinners easier and this seems more realistic than prepping entire meals in advance.

[@tdwentel]

Thank you for this very educational video. Soaking the ground spices in water may be a gamechanger! I have used base gravy before, with rather good results, but I think your way of making the gravy will make my Indian curries even better.

[@AngryPunk]

Very enjoyable. Thank you.

[@ginahill503]

Oh my dear! You are so right! This is wonderful! I get so hungry for a curry, but too tired after working all day. Certainly going to try this! I think it's just brilliant. Thank you!
