INDIAN CURRY SAUCE RECIPE (ONION TOMATO BHUNA MASALA)

Steps:

• Start the instant pot in Saute(more) setting and let it heat until it displays HOT.
• Add oil, then diced onions and stir them.
• Saute the onions for about 15 minutes. You dont need to stir for the first 8-10 minutes, as the onions release water and do not stick to the pot. After 10 minutes, stir at regular intervals.
• Add ginger, garlic and green chili pepper and mix well. Saute for 5 mins, while stirring frequently.
• Add the spices. Then add tomatoes and stir well.
• Saute for about 3 minutes. We don't want to cook down the tomatoes completely, as we need the tomato liquid for pressure cooking. Scrape the bottom to make sure nothing is stuck. If needed, add 1-2 tablespoons of water and deglaze the pot.
• Press Cancel and close lid with vent in sealing position. Set the instant pot to manual or pressure cook mode for 5 minutes at high pressure.
• When the instant pot beeps, let the pressure release naturally. Open the pot and give it a good stir.
• You can leave the masala as is or blend using an immersion blender or in a standalone blender. Keep it chunky or smooth depending on your taste.
• This recipe makes about 6 cups of curry sauce.
• Use a heavy bottom deep saucepan. Add the oil and onions, and saute for about 15 minutes. Stir at regular intervals from the start on stovetop.
• Add the tomatoes and spices, and stir well. Cover and let it cook for 5 minutes, so the tomatoes soften. Then cook the masala uncovered so all the liquid dries and the masala thickens.Keep stirring at regular intervals.
• The Bhuna Masala is ready when it starts to leave oil on the sides of the pan. You can keep it as it or blend in a blender, depending on your preference.

TOMATO AND ONION CURRY

Steps:

• Put the tomatoes and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a bowl. Mix and set aside until tomatoes give off some liquid.
• Pour the oil into a wide, heavy pan and set on medium-high heat. When hot put in the asafetida, urad dal, and mustard seeds. As soon as the mustard seeds begin to pop, a matter of seconds, put in the red chilies and, a few seconds later, the curry leaves and onions. Stir and fry the onions for about 10 minutes or until they are translucent, turning the heat down if necessary so they do not brown. Add the garlic and ginger and stir a few times. Add the tomatoes and their liquid and bring to a boil. Turn heat down to medium and simmer vigorously for 35-40 minutes or until the sauce has thickened to a gloppy consistency. Check the salt. You might need to add up to 1/2 teaspoon more. Remove the whole chilies and serve hot or at room temperature, as preferred.

TOMATO & ONION SALAD

• Arrange the tomatoes and cucumber (if using) on a plate, then scatter over the drained onions.
• Mix the chilli and garlic with the vinegar and sugar, then season with salt. Drizzle over the salad just before serving.
• This can be prepared and chilled up to 1 hr ahead, but dress just before serving.

EGGPLANT, TOMATO AND GREEN ONION CURRY

Steps:

• Chop the green onions, the white parts, 1/4 inch long and the green parts 3/4 inch long. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine yogurt, chili powder, turmeric, cayenne and salt. Add eggplant, tomatoes and onions and stir well to make sure the veggies are well coated.
• In a shallow heavy pan, heat oil on medium-high heat for 45 seconds. Pour curry into the pan and stir well.
• Sauté about 3 minutes, reduce the heat to medium-low and cover. Simmer for another 10 minutes, stirring once halfway. Turn off the heat and stir once more.
• If you are not serving the curry right away, remove the lid or it will become to mushy.
