Indian Hot Onion Relish Recipes

INDIAN HOT ONION RELISH

Steps:

• Rinse onions in sieve under cold running water; drain.
• Mix together ingredients in a small bowl; allow flavors to meld over 1 hour period before serving.
• Serve as table condiment with Indian foods, samosas, pakoras, along with other chutneys.

INDIAN ONION RELISH

Steps:

• Cut onion crosswise into paper-thin rings and put rings into a bowl.
• Add all other ingredients, toss and mix.
• Set aside for 30 minutes or more before eating in order to let the flavors blend.

INDIAN SPICED ONIONS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir onion and ketchup until onion is thinly and evenly coated. Mix in the lemon juice. Season with sugar, cilantro, fenugreek and chili powder, and mix thoroughly. Cover, and chill for 24 hours. This allows the lemon juice to neutralize the onion flavor slightly.

SWEET AND SPICY ONION RELISH

Steps:

• Peel the onions, cut in half and slice into 1-inch pieces. Add the onions and the vegetable oil to a large saucepan, over medium-low heat, and saute until soft. Stir in the black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, garlic and brown sugar until incorporated. Add half of the root beer and let reduce until starting to get thick. Stir in the remaining root beer and continue to reduce until the liquid is almost completely evaporated.
• Serve on top of good quality, natural casing hot dogs with a good brown mustard and a little mayonnaise, to taste.

INDIAN RELISH

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, mix together red bell peppers, onion, white wine vinegar, sugar and crushed red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Stirring occasionally, cook 30 minutes, or until thickened. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight before serving.

PYAZ KA LACCHA (RAW ONION RELISH)

Steps:

• Put onions in a bowl and cover with cold water. Set aside to soak for 15 minutes. (This removes some of the onion's bite, but you can skip this step if you'd like a stronger onion flavor.)
• Drain onions and thoroughly pat dry. Return onions to the bowl and stir in lemon juice, salt, paprika and cayenne. Let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld before serving. Taste and add more salt, lemon and spices, if you like.
• Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Serve alongside grilled or roasted meats and fish; stuff into sandwiches, especially grilled cheese or tuna salad; use as a topping for pizza, burgers and hot dogs; scramble into eggs; toss into salads, especially starchy grain and potato salads.
