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)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the red onions and slice them into thin rings. Place the slices in a clean, heatproof jar or bowl.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Serve as a tangy and spiced condiment with your favorite dishes, or enjoy as a zesty snack!
