"Hmm seems like a lot of hassle to me. I don't get the idea of going to all the trouble of marinading the meat and blitzing the tomatoes and onions. The Garam Masala has no place here either IMHO, it's going to turn the sauce brown instead of the nice orangey colour you will get without it... What I would do instead is grate the onions, fry with chopped garlic, add the chicken, tumeric, chili (powder) then chopped tinned tomatoes, simmer, add Ghee for a nice buttery flavour, cumin, coriander, ginger, cilantro, simmer again. Far simpler, no need for a food processor and less washing up! One pan, that's it. One other thing - 1/2 an onion? What am I going to do with the other half? You'd have to make Bhajis too I guess..."
