Base gravy for British Indian food - is it useful at home?
As far as I understand, the base gravy is just something that is used to cook curries of all sorts quickly in a restaurant context, especially in BIR, British Indian Restaurant (I've not looked at other south asian curries)
The gravy is &quot;curry&quot; agnostic, it can be used in many different dishes.
When cooking a curry at home, you can normally take your time and create a curry dish from scratch, bypassing the base gravy.
On the other hand, making a large batch of base gravy and freeze individual portions for when you want to make a mid-week curry is something that should and could be easy to do (I think I'll try making a batch over the holidays)
