Thanks, I didn't know there were powders that are FODMAP free, although I'm not sure if this is the cause of her sensitivity. I'll see if I can find them where I live.
Regarding the consistency. I'm mainly thinking of heavier/saucy dishes like goulash or some Indian/Pakistani dishes, where onions are cooked for a longish time. They add a creamy texture to the sauce that I find difficult to recreate.
Yeah, Indian food is unfortunately mostly a no go for me due to the onions and there is no real alternative. I make something along the lines of butter chicken at home with tomatoes, spices and whipping cream without onions that scratches the itch, but it isn't the same.
FWIW, I made a nice Dal last weekend with some of the tips in this thread. Swapped out the onions for fennel and leek, added other vegetables (carrots, parsnip, bell pepper), garlic oil and asafoetida for taste. Turned out great and was quite easy on the stomach.
My lentils are super basic but still great. Just toss lentils, water, curry powder, salt, and cayenne into a pot and cook until the desired texture. Add some garam masala at the end and stir in. I've even got a local company that makes curry powders and such and they don't include any garlic or onion in the spice mixes.
I didn't even adapt the recipe, the friend I got it from makes it exactly like that.
