Hi, I tried this recipe today and it came out to be totally delicious 😋 Thank You 😊 Since I don’t enjoy raw onion,I cooked onion paste first in little oil then added tomato 🍅. Cook for few minutes and then made purée. Rest all same. Thanks for such delicious recipe!

Tarla Ji, I am a big fan of you and your recopies.I always try your recopies and so far they all have turned great and fabulous. I did not like this one as grind paste is with raw onions, garic and ginger. What i would change is all contents of grind mixture first be roasted oil and then make a paste. thanks & regards

Tarla Dalal    Hi, As the paste is raw they are sauteed for 2 to 3 minutes which helps to remove the raw taste yet if you felt that yes you can saute it as you did. Happy Cooking !!
