Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Small red onions
- 250 ml White vinegar
- 125 ml Water
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Coriander seeds
- 1 Bay leaf
- 0.25 teaspoon Dried chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Peel the red onions and slice them into thin rings. Place the slices in a clean, heatproof jar or bowl.
In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Once the liquid is simmering, add the curry powder, mustard seeds, turmeric powder, coriander seeds, bay leaf, and dried chili flakes (if using). Stir to mix the spices evenly.
Pour the hot pickling liquid over the sliced onions, ensuring all the onions are fully submerged. Use a spoon to gently press them down if needed.
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, uncovered. Once cooled, cover the jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to develop the flavors.
Before serving, give the onions a gentle stir to evenly distribute the spices. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Serve as a tangy and spiced condiment with your favorite dishes, or enjoy as a zesty snack!
