How To Make Curry Sauce At home

Homemade Curry sauce recipe

Ingredients:

2  lb (900g) cooking onions
2  oz (50g) green ginger
2  oz (50g) garlic
2¾  pint (I litre 570ml) water
1 teaspoon salt
1  tin (8oz/225g) tomatoes
8  tablespoon vegetable oil
1  teaspoon tomato puree
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon paprika


Stage One

Peel and rinse the onions, ginger, and garlic.  Slice the onions and roughly chop the ginger and garlic.
Put the ginger and garlic into a blender with about ½ pint of the water and blend until smooth.
Take a large saucepan and put into it the onions, the blended garlic and ginger, and the remainder of the water. Add the salt and bring to the boil.  Turn down the heat to very low and simmer, with the lid on, for 40-45 minutes. Leave to cool.


Stage Two

Once cooled, pour half the boiled onion mixture into a blender and blend until perfectly smooth.  Absolute
smoothness is essential.  To be certain, blend for at least two minutes.  Pour the blended onion mixture into a clean pan or bowl and repeat with the other half of the boiled onion mixture.


Stage Three

Open the can of tomatoes, put into the rinsed blender jug, and blend.  Again, it is important that they are blended perfectly smooth, so blend for two minutes. Into the clean saucepan, pour the oil, tomato puree,
turmeric, and paprika.

Add the blended tomatoes and bring to the boil.  Turn down the heat and cook, stirring occasionally, for ten minutes. Now add the onion mixture to the saucepan and bring to the boil again.  Turn down the heat enough to keep the sauce at a simmer.

You will notice at this stage that a froth rises to the surface of the sauce.  This needs to be skimmed off. Keep simmering for 20-25 minutes.  Stirring now and again to prevent the sauce sticking to the bottom of the Saucepan. Use immediately or cool and refrigerate for up to four days.
