Why gravies taste flat even after long cooking
Long cooking does not guarantee good flavour.
Flat gravies usually indicate spice imbalance or poor base preparation.
Why time alone doesn’t improve taste
Without proper masala blooming, flavours remain locked.
Common gravy mistakes
- Adding spices after water
- Not cooking masala in oil
- Skipping finishing spices
Correct gravy technique
Cook onions and tomatoes thoroughly, then add masala and let oil separate.
