O IS FOR ONION.....ONION PACHADI

O IS FOR ONION PACHADI
A simple and quick side dish. What is a pachadi though? Basically it is anything that is pounded... often spicy and using either raw or cooked vegetables.. Served in a small amount as a side dish to rice or chapati....Surprisingly delicious...You can use either brown onions or red onions both give their own unique taste..


WHAT YOU NEED:
Onions (depending on how many ppl you are wanting to serve)
Red dried chillies (to taste... If you want mild taste then only use 1 or 2 but if you like it hot go for it and experiment)
Dash of oil (you may need to increase this if you making a large amount but you are only want to just coat the pan)

WHAT YOU DO:
1. Cut onions in half and then finely slice... I like to have long thin strands of onion but again it is up to your preference.
2. Heat the pan and the oil and saute the onions over low heat till they are well cooked.
3. Either serve as is or blitz for a smoother pureed pachadi.... serve with hot rice!!!!! delicious
