Expert Tips That I Recommend 

  • Make sure you chop onions very finely so that they cook properly and blend into a fine paste.
  • Avoid boiling the sauce, as it affects the texture of the cream.
  • To enjoy a fine creamy texture, strain it through a fine mesh sieve.
  • You can gently mash lemons with the back of a spoon while simmering to release the juice without turning it bitter.

Recipe Variation for Different Diets 

  • Gluten Free: Double-check that the sauce and seasoning are gluten-free.
