ReplyDeleteThank you to all of you. In the actual recipe she makes a paste of the onions, tomatoes chillies and if you like garlic.So you can grind them to a paste and cook in the micowave. In fact, I did it by grinding as I did not have readymade paste. This write up was entirely for benefit of the likes of my daughter.
