Ingredients & Composition
This is a single-blend, ready-to-use gravy mix formulated from natural spices, herbs, and natural thickening agents. Patil Foods sources ingredients from trusted suppliers across India and processes them under FSSAI-licensed, lab-tested protocols. Every batch is tested for purity and microbial safety; no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives are added. Export-grade quality ensures consistency whether you’re cooking for family or commercial kitchens.
How to Use
Traditional Cooking Method: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil or ghee in a pan, sauté onions until golden, add your cooked vegetables or proteins, then dissolve 2–3 tablespoons of Brown Gravy Mix in 1 cup of warm water or vegetable/meat stock. Pour into the pan, stir well, and simmer for 3–5 minutes until the gravy thickens and coats your ingredients. Adjust consistency and seasoning to taste.
Quick Weeknight Curry: For faster preparation, mix the gravy powder directly into your cooking liquid before adding it to the pan. This method works especially well for pressure-cooker or instant-pot cooking, reducing overall preparation time while maintaining authentic flavor.
Wellness & Culinary Tradition: In Ayurvedic cooking, warm, well-spiced gravies are traditionally valued for supporting healthy digestion and balanced meals. Use this mix to create nourishing, flavorful dishes that align with seasonal eating and traditional food wisdom.
