Notes
- Take your time with the onions, let them brown for at least 10-15 minutes on low to medium heat
- Do not allow your masala to burn, add a few splashes of water if the mix is too thick.
- Allow Meat and spices to fry for a few minutes on a low heat stirring occasionally without burning.
- Mix your potatoes with a few drops of Egg Yellow (food colouring) or Turmeric, and let stand for 10 mins + before adding. This will give you those beautiful yellow potatoes. see more
Frying is cooking by immersion in oil—either total immersion, or partial immersion on each side.
Braising is a two-stage process: the food is first either seared in a dry pan or browned in a little oil, and then cooked slowly in a simmering aqueous (non-fat) liquid. Liquid can be added or simply the steam condensing on the lid and falling back into the pot.
