Topic: I found a little gem

[walleye]

I found a little gem of a book at my local supermarket for only ?3 Indian made simple from Love Food I have made four of the recipes all delicious probably more veering to traditional rather than BIR styles most of the dishes start with frying  chopped onions so what I am thinking to save time is making a batch of base just using onions oil and water would this work when making the recipes and letting the water evaporate off   before adding the spices GG paste etc ?

Personally I think the beauty of the traditional indian recipes is the freshness, so not sure trying to shortcut things BIR style by pre cooking a base would give you the same results.

Only way to be sure though is to give it a go!
