Can some1 tell me please when you make curry, how do you get oil to float on top. Mine seems to mix in the curry, so i find it hard to drain the oil when cooking is finished. Am i doing something wrong?
Re: QUESTION
Turn the heat off and let the finished product rest for 10 minutes and oil will separate.
Re: How to get oily curry
When u mix masala, onions, garlic tomatoes etc, are you suppossed to wait and mix till oil is released? Also, when u add meat/chicken are u suppossed to keep mixting till very dry before water is added? I don't know how people get the oil to float on top of curry. Is there some secret i don't know about?:) Even after ive cooked, oil just seems to mix in with whole gravy/salan rather than float on top. Sorry, hope i make a bit of sense.
Re: How to get oily curry
if u bhoonofy the masala well the oil will seperate.
Re: How to get oily curry
How do you know when uve bhoonified the meat, and its time to add the water? Are u supossed to wait till all juices from meat have dried and only oil remaining.? Im wondering if i dont bhoon the meat properley its not reached that stage. Im sure a long time ago when i saw one of my friends cooking, when he put the water in the oil came to the top straight away.
Re: How to get oily curry
when the meat is bhoonified, the mixture will start sticking together (and to the spoon) and the oil will come out from the sides.....then u know the meat is bhoonified and u can add the water
sometimes when i think something is bhoonified, i bhoon it for like 5-10 minutes more just to make sure
Re: How to get oily curry
Yes taffy if u dry up the liquid really well till it turns to a thick paste u should get the desired results after adding the water.
Re: How to get oily curry
Thankyou so much every1 for your replies:) I think when i cook next time i think ill add a bit more patience to my cooking and maybe ill see better results:) Maybe my problem is that i don't bhoono properley.
Re: How to get oily curry
^^ it should be done by the time your hand starts hurting.
why do u want oil on top of curry anyways?
oh i have a question: when a bhooni hui dish is made is the oil showing up on top of the curry a sign that the meat/veggies are fully cooked?
Re: How to get oily curry
i think when you see oil at top of curry, i feel that it looks nicer, and also it is much easier to drain off.
Re: How to get oily curry
i alwaysssssssss hated the bhooning part....i dont have patience either....but the better its bhooned, the better the taste (and no smell of ghosth)
i think that u have to press the meat with a knife to make sure it is tender....the oil at the top just means its bhooned well (i think)
