Episode Details

A busy British curry house sends out 120 dishes a night, and every one of them starts from the same vat of base gravy. This episode breaks down what's actually in that vat (onions, oil, carrot, cabbage, peppers, tomatoes, garlic-ginger paste, a standard spice set), why the sauce is deliberately bland, and how a two-to-three-minute pan finish turns one ladle into a rogan josh or a dhansak. Then it gets practical: batch sizes, portioning, freezing before dilution, fridge and freezer life, and the 30-minute quick versions. Along the way, the episode takes seriously the sharpest objection out there — that base gravy isn't a curry technique at all, just meal planning in a curry-shaped container.
