The addictive flavour of this pickle is great with preserved meats, sausages, fried pastries or grilled fish.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon sea salt
  • 1 kg white pickling onions, quartered
  • 200

Method

Sprinkle salt over onion in a non-reactive bowl and set aside for 15 minutes. Heat both oils in a frying pan and cook mustard seeds until they pop. Stir in chilli flakes, turmeric, amchoor, vinegar and brown sugar — when mixture starts to bubble, add onion and remaining ingredients. Cook gently for 10 minutes until onion starts to soften, then remove from heat. Cool. Spoon into jars, then cover
