  1. Hi Dassana, thank you for the recipe! I want to try it very soon. I am wondering if I need to use tomato puree how many ml would I need for the gravy? Thank you!

  2. I like to make vegetarian Indian meals for our friends. This dish is always the star of the show. It is easy to make and so tasty.

    Can i keep tomato-ginger-garlic paste in the freezer and use for recipes that ask for little or no onion?

    Thanks
    Sharmila

    1. avoid tomato. just make ginger-garlic paste. tomatoes can spoil. any paste or puree made with tomatoes stays good for a few days only. if preservatives are added, then these can be preserved for months too. for ginger-garlic paste, you can add some oil, a bit of salt and some turmeric, to preserve it for more than a month. you can check the post on ginger-garlic paste, i have already shared on website.

      1. Thanks so much Dassana!! I read somewhere that onion-tomato paste (which will have ginger-garlic too) can be kept in the freezer. I understand now i cannot do this either?? 🙁 What do you recommend? I am a working mother, so need some things readily available so cooking gets done in a jiffy

        1. sharmila, for onion paste, you can fry onions in bulk. make a paste and refrigerate. in any dish, when you add this paste, it tastes good. for ease of frying onions, what you do is thinly slice the onions. then sundry it for a few hours. then fry it. this way the onions will get browned quickly. avoid tomato paste or tomato puree. preservatives have to be added in these for a longer shelf time. for coconut, you can grate 1 coconut in your free time and then freeze it. you can also make onion-tomato gravy paste. just brown onions, tomato, ginger, garlic in some oil and then grind it. this can then be freezer in ice cube tray and you can use whenever you want. i somehow forgot to mention this to you.

          hope this helps.
