Gravy

  • 2 cups Small Onion
  • 2 sprigs curry leaves
  • 2 green chilli
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 3 tbsps coriander leaves
  • vinegar (optional)
  • salt

Grind

  • 11/2 tbsps ginger
  • 11/2 tbsps garlic
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 ½ tbsps coriander powder
  • 2 tbsps Chilly powder
  • ½ teaspoon pepper powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon fennel powder

Instructions

  • Slice small onion. In a pressure cooker, heat the oil. Add the small onion, curry leaves, salt and green chilly. Adding salt, helps the onion to get cooked fast. You can replace 1 cup of small onion with regular onion if needed.
  • Saute the onions until it is lightly brown in color.
  • Grind the ingredients listed under the Grind section in the ingredients list. Add 1 or 2 tablespoon of water to grind it well. Add the grinded mixture and saute well in oil.

  • Coriander leaves is optional. Add it only if you like the coriander leaves flavor. If you need more sourness for the curry, add sufficient vinegar.
  • Cook it for 5 - 10 minutes or until gravy has desired consistency.
