Ingredients

• 2 medium red onions, sliced into thin rings
• 500 ml iced water, for soaking
• ¾ tsp Kashmiri chilli powder
• ½ tsp Chaat masala
• ¼ tsp Salt
• 1 Green chilli, finely chopped (optional)
• 2 tbsp Coriander (cilantro), finely chopped
• 1 tbsp lemon juice, plus wedges to serve

Method

1. Separate the onion rings and soak them in iced water for 10 min. This makes them extra crisp and takes off the harsh bite.
2. Drain well and pat dry with a clean tea towel.
3. Toss with the chilli powder, chaat masala, salt, green chilli and coriander, then squeeze over the lemon. Serve straight away with tandoori dishes, kebabs or dal.

Tips

• Add the salt and lemon at the last minute, or the onions go limp.
• Chaat masala contains black salt; taste before adding extra salt.
