Mother, how to make onion sauce?
Cut the onions very small, fry in cocogem or oil till they get brown; take the water in which the vegetables are cooked, dissolve in that water some flour and pour slowly in the fried onions, stirring all the time. Cook for about 15 minutes, then add to the vegetables. If there are tomatoes, you can add some cut in small pieces.

1 But here the flour must be thicker, less watery; the onions must be cut and prepared in the same way. No saffron. – Sri Aurobindo
