Indian Poutine Adventures

Our Indian Poutine Journey

We’re a couple who came here from India, and guess what? We’ve fallen head over heels for this Canadian dish. It’s not just food for us; it’s also like a warm hug on days when we miss home. Join us for a discussion about why we love Indian Poutine, the different varieties we’ve tried, and the fun stories that happen in our kitchen.

Gravy: The King in Indian Poutine

Gravy is a straightforward sauce created by thickening and flavoring the juices naturally released from meat or vegetables during cooking. It can be easily infused with Indian flavors by incorporating common spices used in Indian cuisine.

This following is how we make our Indian gravy :

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup beef or vegetable broth (for vegetarian option)
• 1 cup water
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the paste: Heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the all-purpose flour and stir continuously to create a smooth paste. Cook for 2-3 minutes until it turns a light golden color.
2. Infuse the Spices: Lower the heat and gradually add the garam masala, turmeric powder, and cumin powder to the roux. Stir well to combine the spices with the roux.
3. Gradually Add Liquids: To avoid lumps, slowly pour in the broth and water, stirring continuously. Keep the heat low to maintain a uniform consistency.
4. Simmer and Thicken: Allow the mixture to simmer and thicken. Keep stirring to prevent the gravy from sticking to the pan. If necessary, adjust the consistency by adding more water.
5. Season to Taste: Season with salt and pepper to taste. The garam masala will already add some heat, so adjust the spice level as desired.
6. Simmer for Flavor Infusion: Let the gravy simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes to allow the spices to fully infuse into the gravy. Stir occasionally.
7. Taste and Adjust: Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning as needed. Depending on your taste preferences, you can add more spices or salt.
8. Serve Warm: Remove the gravy from the pan and shake well until it has reached the desired consistency and flavor. Your Indian-inspired poutine gravy is now ready to elevate your dish! Pour it generously over your crispy fries and cheese curds, and enjoy the delectable fusion of Indian and Canadian flavors in every bite. 🍟🧀✨
