oo im glad you agree britmum, makes me feel like i know what im talking about!
i always blitz my onions for currys.. my usual curry 'base' as it were is 6 onions, 3 red 3 white, chopped with 5 garlic cloves, frylighted in a pan with a bit of water added, add 2 tins chopped toms, bring to boil and then blend using hand blender before using spices and adding meats and the coriander xx
