Ingredients

• 2 Large onions
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and slice the onions into thin rings or half-moons, depending on your preference.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sprinkle with the salt to help release their moisture. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Step 5

Once the onions begin to soften and turn golden (about 7-8 minutes), add the minced garlic and red chili flakes.

Step 6

Stir well and continue to cook for another 5-6 minutes, allowing the onions to caramelize and absorb the chili flavor fully.

Step 7

Sprinkle the sugar over the onions and stir. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to balance the heat with a hint of sweetness.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the lemon juice for a fresh, tangy finish.

Step 9

If desired, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 10

Serve the Chili Onions warm or at room temperature as a topping or side condiment.
