Restaurant Style Curry Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • 1. Heat the oil in a heavy pan then add the chopped onion and stir for a few minutes with the heat on high.
  • 2. Add the ginger, garlic and green chilli (if using). Stir for 30 seconds then put the heat down to very low.
  • 3. Cook for 15 minutes stirring from time to time making sure nothing browns or burns.
  • 4. Add the turmeric, cumin, coriander, curry powder, and chili powder (if using) and cook, still very gently, for a further 5 minutes. Don't burn the spices or the sauce will taste horrid - sprinkle on a few drops of water if you're worried.
  • 5. Take off the heat and cool a little. Put 1/2 cup cold water in a blender, add the contents of the pan and blend until very smooth. Add the tomato puree (or paste) and stir.
  • 6. Put the puree mixture back into the pan and cook for 20 - 30 minutes (the longer the better) over very low heat stirring occasionally. You can add a little hot water if it starts to catch on the pan but the idea is to gently "fry" the sauce which will darken in colour to an orangy brown. The final texture should be something like good tomato ketchup. Warning - it WILL gloop occasionally and splatter over your stove, it's the price you have to pay!
