Description
Hotel Gravy Curry Masala from ‘Ome Made takes the aromatic whole spices used in making a high end Hotel style curry gravy. Blending the whole spices with ground spices to give a perfect balance of flavours.
Not everyone has whole black cardamom, cinnamon sticks, tej patta and other whole spices in there pantry or has a blender which is tough enough to blend them in a sauce. With Hotel gravy Curry Masala you won’t have to worry about that.
All you have to do is gently brown some onions, add the masala, ginger, garlic, tinned tomatoes and water. Cook the gravy and then blend it with a stick blender. There is a recipe you can follow below.
Not Just For Hotel Gravy!
‘Ome Made Hotel Gravy Curry Masala can be used to make traditional style curries.
Simply use in a recipe with other spices or curry masala. Again it’s a handy substitute for whole spices or for people that don’t like to use whole spices. Lets face it some people just don’t like the thought of biting in to a whole cardamom pod!
You could even add an extra layer of flavour to your base gravy by adding a teaspoon or two of the masala with your mix powder.

Hotel Curry Gravy
Ingredients
- 750 g sliced onion About 4 medium onions
- 110 ml oil Any neutral oil such as vegetable sunflower or rapeseed (not cold pressed)
- 4 tsp 'Ome Made Hotel Gravy Curry Masala
- 1 tsp chopped garlic
- 1 tsp chopped ginger
- 400 g tin of chopped tomatoes

- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp fresh coriander stalks can be used if wished
- 2 green chillies deseeded and chopped
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a heavy bottomed pan
- Add the onions to the pan and fry on a medium heat, stirring occasionally for 10 minutes or until just starting to turn brown.
- turn the heat to the lowest you can and fry for another 30 minutes, stirring quite often until the onions have turned a deep brown colour.

- Take the pan off the heat and let cool a little
- Now blend with an immersion blender, food processor or blender. If using the latter I would recommend to let it cool slightly first as hot steam tends to blow the lid off!
