ReplyDeleteFor onions that need to be fried to a brown or caramel colour, try this:
I buy dehydrated onions in a large pack from indian grocers. I grind the amount i need in the food processing attachment of the hand held blender to a consistancy of fine breadcrumbs. I then take a non-stick pan and mix this ground onions with a little oil to resemble a crumble mix. I then heat this pan on low stiring at all times till the onions are the colour that i require ie caramel, dark brown etc. switch off the heat and use as required! It all takes very little time, does not steam up the kitchen and no excess oil to skim off the curries either. Please try and let me know how it works for you.
Thanks so much for the tip, I will definately try it.
ReplyDeleteDefinately worth a try. Frying onions takes a long time. thanks...
ReplyDeleteI tweaked the recipe a little bit I made a powder of toasted Cardamom , Cinnamon , Cloves , Channa dal , Poppy seeds and added that to the curry at the beginning . Came out great . Thanks for all the recipes Saju .
