One of the most important part of Indian cooking is the different kinds of gravies used in different dishes. I had made the basic three gravies which are essentially used in restaurants in their own way and with different recipes. There are so many versions out there but I am sharing my version of the three basic gravies that can be used in any dish - vegetables or meats. One can mix these gravies as per own taste - e.g., for a chicken dish I generally use the ratio of Onion gravy : Tomato Gravy : White Gravy in 4:2:2 ratio. Since the ratio of gravy base to be used is according to taste and imagination, the entire base might not be used and can be stored in refrigerator for use in other dishes. For Onion Gravy Sliced onions 4no. Ginger garlic paste 2tsp Cloves 2-3 Black peppercorns 3-4 Bayleaf 1no Cinnamon 1stick Black cardamom 1no. Curd 3tbsp Corriander pdr 2tsp Chicken masala pdr 1-2tsp Cumin pdr 1tsp Oil as required Deep fry sliced onions till golden brown - make a paste with alongwith the curd. Heat oil in a pan - add whole garam masala and let it crackle. Add ginger garlic paste and stir for a couple of minutes. Now add the paste and bhunno for a couple of minutes - add dry spices and bhunno till oil separates. Keep aside. For Tomato gravy Tomatoes 5no. Chopped garlic 4cloves Green chilies 2no Degi mirch 2tsp Oil as required Make puree of tomatoes - heat oil and add chopped garlic and chopped green chilies. Stir for a minute and add degi mirch. Bhunno the masala till oil separates and keep aside. For White gravy Boiled onion paste (3 onions along with a couple of cloves boiled and pureed) Curd 2tbsp Cashewnuts 30gm Sesame seeds 1tbsp Coriander pdr 2tsp Green chilies 2no. Cream 1tbsp Whole Red Chilies 2-3 Oil as required Heat oil - add whole red chilies and saute for a couple of minutes. Add boiled onion paste and stir for a minute. Add chopped green chilies.

Use these gravies as per requirement. These can be frozen as well.
