Sirkewala Pyaz, Oil Free Onion Pickle
by Tarla Dalal
This quickly prepared onion relish is usually served with grilled vegetables e.g. Paneer Tikka , Tandoori Aloo etc. But I have served it on several occasions as part of a main meal and my family and friends have just loved it.
I have enjoyed making it and sharing this recipe with lots of people. I'm sure you will enjoy it too! But just a little note of caution before you start .
To avoid the strong flavour of onions and vinegar, it is best to cook them covered in a pan and to stir them occasionally. Bottle the pickle in a clean sterilised glass jar. This relish will keep well for upto one month, when stored refrigerated.
Have a go at other oil free pickles like Green Peppercorns in Brine and Nimbu Adrak ka Achaar .
