This will make a LOT of Indian Curry Sauce. Reduce the Quantity as you please. As for me If I am putting the time and effort into this, I would make larger quantities.
- Roughly Chopped Yellow or White Onions: 1 lb
- Garlic 2-3 Bulbs: 1/4 lb
- Roughly Chopped Ginger: about 1/4 lb
- One 6 oz. Can of Tomato Paste – Using Tomato Paste gives your Curry that rich red color (if you are not into adding a lot of Paprika or Cayenne Pepper)

Instructions to make Indian Curry Sauce:
- Heat oil over medium-high heat in a thick-bottomed pan.
- Add Everything in the pan (Except the Tomato Paste) and cook until everything is lightly browned and most of the water is evaporated, should take just about 15-20 minutes.
- Turn off the heat, Add Tomato Paste and mix and let it cook on residual heat.
- ***Alternatively – You can Dump All Ingredients in the Instant Pot – Oil, Followed by Onion and then Everything Else And Saute for 8 minutes with Vent Open, and achieve the same effect.****
- Let cool for at least 1 hour.
- Finally – the moment of truth. Use an Immersion Hand Blender to grind this mixture into a thin paste. A large food processor or blender jar will work too.
- You could also throw in a handful of fresh green chilly peppers at this time (which I do because I love my curries slightly hot!).
- Store in your small meal prep container or freeze in muffin tins. Could be used for several months.
