how to make thick gravy? my qorma n kofta curry all have v thin gravy how to make it thick???

Don't put water in your curry if you feel that the consistency is okay. Or if you must put it in, then only put a little.

You can add yogurt or cream to thicken up the curry. If you're health conscious then use low-fat yogurt and cream.

Sometimes I use chopped tomatoes OR I use tomato paste for my curries. I find that using the paste adds more thickness....though it gives the curry a reddish color.

I blend garam masala, jaifal/javitri, elaichi and fried onions to yoghurt when making korma.. always turns-out nice Alhamdulilah.

Re: thick gravy

^^ sorry to say but that is quite unhealthy if you do this on daily basis.

Thats the best way for Qorma.

Tomatoes do not go with Qorma.

Qorma is always cooked with yogurt.

D A,

Why are you frying the chicken first? What chicken dish are you making (karahi, korma, chicken tikka masala?)

First of all as Lusi said, it's not healthy...especially if this is your usual way of cooking chicken. You can cook the chicken along with the onions, tomatoes, masala. The chicken turns white and tender....do a taste check to see if it's done. When the oil rises to the surface...you're done. But there's no need to cook chicken and masala separately. It can all be done in one pot....without deep frying.

FOr gravy, you need to use more onions, tomatoes, or yogurt.

Re: thick gravy

^ agree with jalpari, it may be that you need to have more of a 'base' for the gravy so use more onions and tomatoes
