How to make an impressive and high-quality gravy?
First, find a quality frying pan that you are confident in. It is desirable that the cookware has high sides. Turn it on and warm it up a little. Then melt a thirty-gram piece of butter. When the work is done, add a couple of spoons of vegetable oil.
Then you need to pour in two spoons of flour. This is a very important moment. The product should not burn or clump. Pour in a few spoons of water and begin stirring actively. At this stage, it is extremely important to pay attention to the dish, as there is a high risk of lumps appearing.
Add a couple of spoons of tomato paste and stir again. After a couple of minutes, add three spoons of sour cream, stir, add salt and one bay leaf and pepper if desired.
