About Fried red onions

Fried red onions are a savory condiment made by thinly slicing red onions and frying them until golden and crispy. Popular in South Asian, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian cuisines, they add a burst of flavor and crunch to dishes like biryanis, curries, soups, and salads. Red onions are naturally rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber, which may support heart health and immunity. However, frying them introduces added fats and reduces their raw nutritional content. Using healthier oils or limiting portion size can help balance the indulgent nature of this ingredient. Their distinctive caramelized flavor enhances dishes with minimal seasoning and adds depth to vegetarian and meat-based meals alike. Fried red onions are a versatile garnish, best enjoyed in moderation due to their calorie density when fried.
