I've been experimenting with making the regular Punjabi curry paste at home for two years now, and was also bothered by the bitter taste of my curries at first. I then figured out that I cooked the garlic for too long. Garlic burns very fast, so it's good to be careful when cooking it. Thanks for the great time saver recipe, I will make it soon!!

Red onions are much milder. Hi Dina,Yes this will affect the taste there is acid in the white onions this is what stings your eyes when peeling. Red onions are much milder.

This will take away the 'tinny' bitter taste. Hi Dina,Just add some sugar to the finished mixture to your taste. This will take away the ‘tinny’ bitter taste.

Yes, 1/3 cup is about accurate for a 4 servings recipe. Hi Judy,

Is that accurate, or a typo? Just wanted to make sure before making. As I am a one person household, I think I will cut down and make 1/4 recipe. From your instructions,it looks like 1/3 cup will be used in most of your recipes. Is that correct? Thanks so much for turning this American woman into a not-so-bad-Indian cook..lol. You are both incredible!! Judy Hi Anuja and Hetal,
