An authentic Indian specialty cooked with freshly ground roasted spices, caramelised onions, and aromatic herbs in the traditional style.
Peel the baby onions and halve or quarter them so they pickle quickly and evenly.
Bring the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt to a boil and simmer for 2 minutes until the sugar dissolves.
Pack the onions and red chili flakes into a clean glass jar and pour the hot brine over them.
Seal and refrigerate for 24-48 hours until the onions turn pink and pickled through.
Serve cold as a sharp, sweet-sour side with biryani, kebabs, and onion-rich North Indian mains.
