On the subject of onions in Indian curry dishes... I've been blending my onions instead of using chopped, the difference in flavor is amazing... Try it...
I also buy whole spices and roast then grind in a mortar and pestle... Also use fresh turmeric now, I blend that down with the chilli, ginger and garlic into a paste and add it to the onions once they've cooked down...
I blend shallots with the spices and a bit of coconut cream and tomato puree when I can be arsed to make a proper paste, but then I use normal chopped onions added to that in the curry.
