When you visit an Indian restaurant, have you ever wondered how the fully cooked dishes arrive so quickly on your table? The "secret" to the chefs being able to cook & serve so quickly is in the pre-cooked gravies & sauces (also known as British Indian Restaurant (BIR) Gravy) which are prepared in advance. The actual processes for the sauces are quite time-consuming (as you will see in this video), but the efforts are very much worthwhile.
