Our mission to give you the vest winter warmers continues, and this is a real winner. Inspired by food markets in Kerala, India, this onion curry is the best way to use up your onions, and a great excuse to make some parathas from scratch! Rich in flavour and deep in colour, and we promise when we say, this will be on your new go to meals list!
Start with our halved onions - sear with a little bit of olive oil in a stainless steel pan, on medium, for 4-7 minutes, to char and colour. We're not looking to fully cook them here. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, start sweating down the sliced onions, with salt and pepper, in some olive oil. Once cooked and translucent, about 15 minutes, add ginger and garlic paste, and continue to cook. After a couple minutes, add tomato paste, cook again for a couple minutes before adding the spice mix, and the stock.
Add back in the seared onions, and cook over medium-low heat, for 30 minutes, minimum, but the longer the better.
For the paratha, mix all the ingredients and knead for 7-10 minutes. Allow the dough to rest on the fridge for 30 minutes (minimum). Once rested, portion into 5, and make into balls. With each ball, roll out into a thin circle, and cover in ghee. Sprinkle with cheese, and fold the sides in, creating a ball. Roll this out to your desired size, and fry in a little bit more ghee for 3-4 minutes each side.
Smack the paratha's to expose their layers, and garnish the curry with some fresh coriander.
