I've been in the same situation many times. Will be absolutely fine once you sweat them down (very unlikely that you'll notice any difference).

Red onions have a slightly sweeter flavour than the white ones... And are in fact better for a curry. In India they use mostly reds for their recipes. When you cook them or boil them they look awful but the end result is......."You find out".!!!

Red onions are milder than white, so your curry may not be as hot as you expect, but, in some cases that is o.k. Enjoy.

I have been a curry addict for 50 years.

I never have onions in it. Garlic
