Basically, you have to cook for about 5-6 mins, until oil separates. I have mentioned in the recipe that one you add tomato puree, you have to cook covered for 2 mins and then in the open pan until oil separates from gravy. Next time, try tasting the onion paste while cooking to determine if its done, instead of sticking to the exact time in recipe ? This could change with the type of onions used, quantity, etc.
