I followed a Jaime Oliver recipe for curry, which started with grating onion, ginger and garlic. I liked the curry, but grating an onion is a miserable job. He said that technique unlocked the onion's 'sweetness'. How much difference do you think I'd notice if I used a food processor?

Jamie Oliver does dreadful things to "Thai" curry's.

I use an Indonesian oelekan for curry's. Takes some time but there is nothing better than a mortar and pestle.

A food processor won't give you the authentic taste as an oelekan, but grating an onion is just more Jamie Oliver bs, better use the processor..
