HOW TO THICKEN GRAVY? 

Common problem with the beginner's in cooking is fear.For example , if they see one recipes in blog/ youtube/ any social media they thought that  we have to use those ingredients, with the same procedure..

But I think, there is no protocol like that.we can alter the recipe to our sake. If you want to use cashew paste, but you don't have. At that time you can add coconut paste or any flour mix to it. But make sure you should never change  the main ingredient. 

On this basis , I answer to  doubt  HOW TO THICKEN GRAVY? 

10 easy way to thicken gravy:

1. Coconut paste
2. Groundnut/cashews
3. Roasted  bengal gram
4. Corn flour
5. Gram flour
6. Yogurt
7. Boiled potato
8. Cream
9. Rice flour
10. If nothing is there, you grind onion, tomato and fresh spices instead of adding as whole.
