Some additional tips:

-If u want the onions u get brown quickly then just add salt to it while cooking.
-Whenever curd is to be added to the masala, it should be beaten well and added gradually.
-Sometimes cooking requires a lot of pre-preparation. Make masalas ahead of the time. Stock the masala in the freezer till not required for cooking. This method will save a lot of time
