Thanks Livo for the uploade, thanks JerryM for the great review, I will download the jpg and have a crack at it.

Livo,

Looking forward to sharing on all not just curry.

I do intend using the recipe as a side line learning (for BIR purposes). The thought being just to play around with the spicing and whole spice. These being 2 areas i don't know enough.

Will let you know how i get on. 1st will be to use BIR mix then the balti mix used for the adil balti.

Best wishes

Jerry

the finished dish (i then blended it)

Not too sure about that Jerry. Seems undercooked to me.

My pre-cooked bhunjarra onions are well done. They look like dark caramel...very well cooked. Then I blend and I have a dark, sweet, moreish onion paste...totally delicious. Asbsolutely no additions by the way. That comes in the main dish.

And never..ever..any water! 

Secret Santa,

not miss much. yes under cooked by "our" standard. its a clear one of the reasons why the dish is not a 10.

for the effort / reward its surprisingly very good.

its a keeper for me. that midweek curry just when suits is a real draw.

Yep. That's exactly what I though too.

Quick and so easy, yet far better than you'd expect for the minimal fuss involved.

Made a rev 2 version - in short not as good as original.

I purposely made it more towards BIR (cooked it 30 mins)

Used Iffu mix powder. The taste reminded of Chinese curry sauce. A 1st and suprise.

Used 400g onion aiming 2 portions. 2 tsp mix, 0.5 tsp fennel seed added whole, 2 off green cardamom (too much), 2 tsp lemon dressing (? 10 sec squirt), 1 off Asian bay.

Thoughts going fwd
1) mix no good
2) ease back on the ginger (overpowering)

Rev 3 will try adil gm. Feel its a worthwhile taste journey.

Ps really singed the onions due to multi tasking on making the spice liquid in parallel. Quite amazed no discern able taste difference.
