Bonus Tips

1. Whenever you add onion in the dish, be it chopped or puree, make sure you always sprinkle a pinch of salt on the onion for it to change its colour quickly, be it golden brown or light brown. This tip works best if you are in a little bit of a rush. 

2. If you might have noticed, I do not use a lot of masala in my dishes. That is because, I tend to make use of a good amount of onion and tomato puree, which makes my food look like I've used a lot of masala, but in reality, its just the puree that does the trick. When you use less masala, the food also becomes a bit healthier.
