Onion Curry

Today I am going to make an onion curry. This is my mom’s onion curry recipe, which she made withshallots (small onions). In this onion curry recipe, I am using big onions. This is easier, as small onions can be really fiddly to peel, and take a long time, and there is no discernible difference in the taste.

This is a mouth watering onion curry recipe, and goes very well with both rice and chapathi.

Roasted fenugreek seed powder – 1/2 tsp
