Recipes with onions

Onion is the most common ingredient in this library: sliced and fried golden for biryani, chopped and cooked down for a karahi base, or sliced raw over a plate of chaat. This page lists the dishes that use onion as an essential ingredient.

How long you cook the onion changes the dish. Pale and soft gives a lighter gravy, deep brown gives a sweeter, darker one. Each recipe says which stage to stop at.

Storage and swaps: keep onions in a dry, ventilated place, not in a sealed bag. Slicing them thin and frying a large batch in advance saves time for biryani, since the fried onions keep for a few days in an airtight tub. Spring onion and shallots can replace brown onion in lighter dishes, with a milder taste.

This collection has 136 dishes, including Chana Daal, Anda Curry, Chapli Kabab. A typical recipe takes about 60 minutes, and each one comes with step-by-step instructions and cooking timers.
