Q: hi ... making north indian curry (the plain, yellow gravy type) wondering how much besan (gram/chickpea flour) and yogurt do i need to use? thanks
A: Khadia the yellow curry u need more of yogurt and some gram flour mix well add water bring to boil on medium heat do not cover. this cooking is done with not too much of gram flour as then the curry will thicken quickly so add the right amount. while cooking add red chilly powder, salt ,turmeric powder, coriander powder. When thickish take off the heat. Now chop some onions add salt some gram flour in a paste form Heat oil fry small portions of this batter containing the onions when browned keep aside or can be added to the curry next heat some oil add chopped onions when brown add chopped tomatoes some dry masalas red chilly powder some curry leaves This is the tempering when fried add to the curry Serve hot with plain boiled rice
