Why This Recipe Is A Favorite

These pickled onions add a vibrant burst of flavor to any dish. The curry infusion brings warmth and complexity, making them a unique twist on a classic condiment. They are quick to prepare and brighten up meals with their tangy and spicy notes.

Tips From The Kitchen

- Use thinly sliced onions for faster pickling and better texture.
- Let the onions cool completely before refrigerating to keep them crisp.
- Adjust the curry powder to suit your spice preference, adding more for extra heat.

Step 1

Whisk the salt into the water in a glass or ceramic bowl until it’s completely dissolved. Toss in the onions, cover the bowl, and let them sit at room temperature for about 24 hours.

Step 2

Combine the brown sugar, flour, curry powder, turmeric, mustard powder, ginger, and allspice in a saucepan. Gradually pour in the malt vinegar while stirring, then heat the mixture over medium-high heat. Keep stirring constantly until it thickens, which should take around 2 minutes. Once it’s thickened, take it off the heat and let it cool down a bit.

Step 3

After the onions have soaked, drain them well and pack them into two clean quart-sized jars. Pour the warm curry sauce over the onions, making sure they’re fully covered. Seal the jars with lids and rings, then store them in a cool, dark spot for 4 to 6 weeks to let the flavors really come together.

Serving Advice

They pair wonderfully with grilled meats, sandwiches, and salads. Try them as a topping on tacos or burgers for a flavorful kick. They also make a great side to Indian dishes or as a zesty addition to cheese boards.

How To Save Leftovers

Store the pickled onions in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They taste best after resting for at least 24 hours and can last up to two weeks when kept chilled. Always use a clean utensil to avoid contamination and maintain freshness.
