Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 0.25 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until fully melted and bubbling.
Whisk in the flour to create a roux. Stir constantly for 2-3 minutes, allowing the roux to cook and develop a golden color.
Gradually pour in the chicken or vegetable stock, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Continue to whisk as the mixture comes to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it thicken, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream, turmeric powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
Let the gravy simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then remove the pan from the heat.
Serve the golden gravy warm over your favorite dishes, and enjoy!
