Pickled Onions

Pickled Onions go so well with the Tandoori Chicken and with most grilled dishes. Pickled Onions can be made instantly and add a wonderful color. And the best part - dropping them in boiling water takes the edge off the onions. Try adding them to burgers for an extra crunch. All I can say is ‘ENJOY’!

Ingredients:
Onions - 1/2 small, sliced
Tandoori Masala - 1/2 tsp
Lemon Juice - 1/2 cup, enough to submerge onions
Salt - to taste
Red Food Color - 1-2 drops

Method:
In a saucepan, heat up 1 cup of water. Once it reaches a boil take it off the flame.
Add the Onions into the water, cover and let it sit for half hour.
Drain the water out and put the onions into a serving bowl.
Add the Lemon Juice, Salt, Tandoori Masala and Red Food Coloring.
Mix well and it is ready to serve.

Tips:
The pickled onions have a long shelf life in the refrigerator.
You can use whole pearl onions instead of regular onions for amore authentic look.
