red onions before / with Indian food
Very often, before or with an Indian meal, you get these little onions with a reddish colour (as a side dish). Does anyone know how you make this exactly? What is added? Because it's more than just the onion-taste and I love it! I would like to make it at home...
Thanks! Mirjam |

Mirjam , are you talking about those small onions served in a small bowl with indian meals along with pickles ? It is very simple to make . Put some vinegar(white one ) in a glass bowl and add the onions and simlpy wait to mature it.

I don't think I've had these with a meal, but I think you must mean small red onions
 Now I come to think of it, I only see these in local Indian shops, small red onions about 10-15mm in size. I use them in my cooking, they're great.

The closest I can come up with is shallots or pickling onions in the supermarkets whent here are no Indian shops around.
