Meanwhile, heat some oil in a pan add the chopped onions and garlic and saute till translucent. onions need not be very small, as anyways we are going to make puree out of it. By caramelizing onions we are trying to give it a little flavor and remove its rawness. Once, cooked remove them in a blender and puree them along with garlic, green chillies and ginger. Remove it in a separate bowl.
