Tips & Secrets

  • Using pre-soaked beans is mandatory for achieving the most professional-grade authentic digestibility and texture.
  • Ensuring the coconut is roasted to dark brown provides the absolute secret to achieving superior professional-grade gravy depth.
  • The addition of a little kokum extract provides the essential professional-grade tangy lift.
  • Always use boiling water for the gravy specifically to ensure the signature professional-grade 'Kat' (oil layer) is maintained.
