I worked as a chef in the Wimpy burger chain years ago, we used to go through bags of these rehydrated onions.

The flavour and smell is very strong from these packets, I used to very much engoy packing my bean burgers with them.

thanks for the info each

my final findings are as follows in case anyone is interested in meaningless statistics - in 10 ingredients lists...

onions, salt, tomato puree, oil, sugar and garlic can be found in all 10.

cumin, chilli powder, water, and ginger are found in 9 out of 10.

ground coriander, garam masala, turmeric, chopped tomatoes and coriander leaf are found in 8 out of 10.

paprika can be found in 7 out of 10 recipes, fennel in 6 and ground cardamom in 5.

cinnamon and lemon juice are only present in 4 of 10.

peppers (red or green) are only in 3 out of 10, the same as black pepper, fenugreek and green chillies.

cream, cloves, mustard seeds and yoghurt are in a mere 2 out of 10.

and finally the following ingredients only total one mention each:

beef extract, wheat flour, cayenne pepper, butter, tamarind paste, dessicated coconut, curry leaves, coconut milk, red lentils, spirit vinegar.

small typo crept in

"onions, salt, tomato puree, oil, sugar and garlic can be found in all 10.

cumin, chilli powder, water, and ginger are found in 9 out of 10."

should have read

"onions, salt, tomato puree, oil and sugar can be found in all 10.

garlic, cumin, chilli powder, water, and ginger are found in 9 out of 10."
