Crunchy and tangy onion, which can jazz up any simple meal, is onion salad. Onion salad is the complimentary salad served at most of the dhabas in North India. The meal could consist of dal/gravies/parathas. but when it is combined with the sharp and savory onion salad, it tastes great.
Correct onions should be selected for onion salad. We have to cut onions into roundels and separate the rings. Proper round onions should be used. To zest up the onion salad lemon juice is used. It is further given a kicky contrast with some Kashmiri red chili powder, which is more red and less hot. Very important is a good chaat masala powder. I like to use homemade chaat masala; recipe link has been shared in the ingredients section. To maintain its crunch and infuse in all the flavors, I just refrigerate it for 10-12 minutes and then serve it.
