Onion and Tomato curry base || How to make basic onion and tomato gravy for curries

Onion and tomato curry base recipe with step by step pics and tips( will share video soon). This curry base is very tasty, spicy and aromatic. When i was child i was wondered how in hotels they prepare food that much quickly when we order😀. I know not many, few of us have same doubt , here is the answer. They prepare different types of gravy base ready, when food is ordered they use the gravy and main ingredients accordingly and prepare dish, is't it super quick and easy.

  --> Vasus vegkitchen & press bell icon for future recipes.

 Today i am sharing one of popular curry base which we use regularly, that is onion tomato curry base. Both onions and tomatoes are always available at home, we can prepare it easily in any conditions. Use kashmiri red chili powder if available, it gives good color to the  curry. It is very easy to prepare any tough curries like 

** Kabuli chana curry(video), 

** kaju curry

** Punjabi dum aloo & paneer gravy curries if this gravy is ready.

 For example if you are preparing Kabuli chana curry, then soak kabuli chana for 8 hrs or overnight, boil it, add this curry base in some oil fry it and boiled kabuli chana in it. Cook it well by adjusting spices or you can also add kaju paste or cream at end while serving that's it. I even love to have this onion tomato curry base as spread on my masala dosa, it just taste yummy, try it once 😋😍. I stored this for 5 days in refrigerator, you can easily store it for a week, make sure that base is cooked well and container you stored is dry.

Honey is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-virus which helps in reducing weight when consumed it empty stomach with hot water. Coming to green tea -it builds metabolism, it burns extra fat, it is full of anti oxidants, by having it regularly we can reduce weight, yes we need also to proper work outs for good result :) . Do not boil green tea for long time, boil 1 or 2 minutes not longer than that.

How to overcome this pandemic situation?? my personal opinion is - Not go out when we do not have work, wear mask and carry sanitizer always, and take proper food that increase your immunity system.  Hope this energy drink with 2 health benefits helps you to stay fit and strong.
