Sirka wala Pyaz or Onions picked in Vinegar is one of the most popular condiments in Indian restaurants along with Green Chutney.
‘Sirka’ in Hindi is ‘Vinegar’ and ‘Pyaz’ is ‘onion’. While growing up in India, whenever we dined out, ‘Sirka wala Pyaz’ and Green Chutney would invariably be on the table and while we browsed the menu, we would nibble on the onions with chutney. Simple, moreish and satisfying- that’s what I would call these onions!
Living in the UK, I rarely see them in Indian Restaurants (and if you have never eaten them, you don’t know what you are missing) and always reminisce eating those in India and terribly missing them (I know some of you while reading this would be recalling your own memories eating them). My husband absolutely loves them, so I often make them at home and keep a jar in the fridge.
I would definitely recommend giving these a try as they will become your family favourite in no time (if you like raw onion in your salad).
