I am making a curry dish and my guest is allergic to onions. What can i replace it with? I would use shallots, but i am not sure whether she would also be allergic.

Use NO substitution for onions......leeks, shallots and garlic are in the onion family, DO NOT use any of them!

Leeks are a good replacement. She would likely also be allergic to shallots as I do believe they are very similar to an onion.

You can omit onions without sacrificing the flavor. The curry flavor will suffice.
Onions, shallots, green onions, mexican onions are all in the same family.

garlic
You can use garlic extract too. You may have to inquire to the person with the allergy about the shallots as they are in the onion family and may have the same reaction.
You might want to see what the guest uses in their recipies.

onions, eschallots, garlic, chives, and other similar things are all closely related... so if she is allergic to one there is a good chance she is allergic to them all....
just leave the onions out... add a littl more of what ever else goes into your curry...to make oup the differeince in volume

He's likely to be allergic to anything onion like you put in the recipe. Consider using mushrooms instead just to have something to chew on.

If someone is allergic your best bet is to leave it out all together.
Shallots are in the onion family.
You could always ask if onion powder is ok. mayb its just the juice that caused the reaction.

Why even use onions? What kind of a curry? I'm guessing it's yellow? If so, just use the potatoes, carrots, and (if desired) peas.

Replace guest, keep onions.
