      Hi Amy,
      In this recipe, I have added onions and tomatoes twice. Once in the beginning and once towards the end. If you prefer not to have the onion and tomato chunks left over in your curry then you can exclude them towards the ends. You can also take a look at the video. Hope that helps 🙂
