Pickled onions are a popular condiment in Indian cuisine. They are used to add flavor and heat to a variety of dishes, from curries to sandwiches. These onions are sliced thin and marinated in vinegar and spices, giving them a tangy and spicy flavor. The process of pickling onions also helps to preserve them, making them a great way to enjoy onions when they are out of season. Serve them as a side dish or use them to add crunch and flavor to wraps and sandwiches.
