Ingredients
- 1 red onion medium
- 1/4 teaspoon Red Chili powder (Mirchi powder) I used Kashmiri chili powder, adjust to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon roasted cumin powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chaat masala
- 1 green chili pepper finely diced, adjust to taste
- 2 tablespoon cilantro leaves finely chopped
- 2 tablespoon Mint leaves (Pudhina) optional, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
Instructions
- Peel the onion. Slice it into thin rings or discs using a sharp knife.
- Place the onions in a mixing bowl. Separate the rings with your hands.
- (optional) Soak the onion rings in water for 15 minutes to reduce the pungent taste and smell. Then discard the water.
- Add red chilli powder, cumin powder, chaat masala, finely chopped green chilli, salt and lime juice.
- Add finely chopped cilantro leaves or mint leaves or both.
- Toss everything until well combined. You can also use your hands to mix the onions with the spices.
- Check the seasoning and adjust if required. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Onions: Use fresh onions and make sure the knife for cutting the onions is sharp.
- Spices: Adjust the spice level as per your preference. If you don't like green chillies, you can skip them.
- Tangy flavor: You can use vinegar instead of lime juice.
- Serve immediately as the onions become soggy from the juices that are released from the salt.
