Keep stirring the onion mixture so that it cooks evenly. Also make sure you add a good amount of oil to begin with, sometimes it is necessary to use a lot of oil in a curry. Heat up your pan then add the oil then add the onions in that order.<br /><br />When you cook the garlic at the start of making a curry the raw smell should gradually go.<br /><br />We all use different blenders which all work differently. You could try making the garlic/ginger paste separate from the onions, or as an alternative use a grater with small holes to mince the ginger and garlic by hand and just use the blender for the onions.<br /><br />Thanks, Jeena.Chef Jeenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16649018732887774182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72160418145248319.post-45669601607831659222010-03-19T03:20:09.060+00:002010-03-19T03:20:09.060+00:00Hi Chef Jeena,

Do you think I should have sauteed the paste longer or is it because of using the wrong oil.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72160418145248319.post-65547244813674936942009-11-16T03:47:54.278+00:002009-11-16T03:47:54.278+00:00Hello again.
So I decided to try this again and I...Hello again.<br /><br />So I decided to try this again and Im much happier with the results than I was last time. The main problem was definitely to vidalia onion I used. I used a smaller yellow onion(in Canada we call brown onions yellow.)The smaller and less sweet onion allowed the spices to shine through much more than they did with the vidalia. Also the dish wasn't sweet this time.<br /><br />I've been trying to find a really good chicken curry recipe for a long time and this is definitely the best I've found so far. Thank you so much!<br /><br />I also find it interesting that the base for this recipe is onion paste, while most of the other recipes I've seen get their body from Yogurt, and/or coconut milk. The paste is an interesting idea, and I love it! I'll use this concept in other things im sure.<br /><br />Anyway thanks for the great recipe!<br /><br />Cheers.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11916180433098091892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72160418145248319.post-25620189253745160952009-11-03T22:56:13.713+00:002009-11-03T22:56:13.713+00:00Hi April,
Thanks for the comment.
If you are tal...Hi April,<br /><br />Thanks for the comment.<br /><br />If you are talking about a Vidalia onion, these onions are very sweet tasting and are not used in curry recipes.<br /><br />Try using a standard brown onion instead.<br /><br />If you had trouble blending the onions try adding a spoonful of water to the onions to help it blend into a paste. <br /><br />Also, some blenders are better at turning onions into a puree than others.<br /><br />I am not sure what the 'gritty' bits are that you speak of? <br />Even if there are little bits of chopped onion in the curry the onion should still be soft textured and cooked through.<br /><br />I am not sure why the spices had no flavour, were the spices that you used old? Spices can lose the intense flavour if not replaced or used up frequently.<br /><br />Onions can be used in many curries as a base so the onions should not over power the spices at all.<br /><br />Everyone has a different threshold for chilli, so if you prefer it a little more spicy just simply add more chilli.<br /><br />I hope this helps.<br /><br />I would love to hear how it goes using brown onions instead?<br /><br />Thanks, Jeena.Chef Jeenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16649018732887774182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72160418145248319.post-3765970211300569532009-11-03T21:10:45.215+00:002009-11-03T21:10:45.215+00:00to me this came out very oniony.

I followed to recipe exactly and the end result was a very mild not too flavorful curry that was a little gritty, seemingly from the onions. <br /><br />I DID blend the onion very well. and i cooked it for a long time, trying to get the onion grits to liquify. but it never did.<br /><br />i used a pretty big vadelia onion. is that what did it? it was about as big as two fists... <br /><br />also the spices didnt end up tasting very curry like. Id say the end result was more sweet than anything. but maybe if i used an onion that was too big it overpowered the spice? <br /><br />I like my curry moderately spicey, hot enough to notice the spice but not so hot you NEED to put the fire out after each bite.<br /><br />Any suggestions would be great.. thanks!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11916180433098091892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72160418145248319.post-27525132706550673822009-08-08T14:28:19.165+00:002009-08-08T14:28:19.165+00:00excellent way of cooking..

I was wondering if you could help me perfect the recipe a bit so it turns out more accurately to your curry pictured here though... first, the color of my curry turned to be a deep brown and it had an almost cinnamon-sweet taste to it... not really sure why. Also, I had to add A LOT of liquid throughout the cooking process to prevent burning and to make it so there was actually some gravy in the pan, can you tellme where I went wrong? Maybe I started off with too little oil, approx how much oil would you say you should use? How can I make this dish spicier?
