Indian red onion

[discopop]

Just found this on google and will give it a go but what the fuck is 1'C' and 1/2 'C' as in the onion and tomato paste measurement? I'm guessing the 't' is teaspoon.

1 C. Red Onions (Finely Chopped)
1/2 C. Tomato Paste
1 t. Paprika
1/2 t. Cumin
1/2 t. Oil
1/4 t. Sugar
1/2 t. Salt

Method
1. Heat the oil, then add the tomato paste and seasonings to the oil and simmer.
2. Mix with raw onions, chill. Serve chilled

1C AND 1/2 C will stand for cups which is the american measuring system, you can find a conversion chart on the web no issues

"and now it'll taste of cucumber!"

this sound the best way and will stop the onions from going brown and soft
also you can use sweet chill sauce than tomato relish

Onions don't oxidise that much tbh. Not like Avocado or apple. Now leaving the chopped onion in a sieve over a bowl for a short time is a good Idea, you'll be surprised how much water comes out. Likewise when making a curry, squeeze the water out of finely chopped onions, they'll cook quicker and will lose very little flavour, in fact they become more subtle in the curry.

Now the onion chutney.

My recipe is so simple. (It will be the one eventually going in my book)

2 or 3 red onions chopped. (or large white if you can't get)
2 tsp of ketchup (you can use tom paste, but we're after a sweetish taste so add only 1 tsp and increase the mango chutney by 1 tsp)
2 tsp smooth mango chutney
1 tsp of cumin seeds
1 tsp of Kalonji or black onion seeds
1/2 tspn cayenne or hot chilli powder (it's your call)
with the chutney and ketchup, you're only looking to give the onions a light coating, as you would dress a salad.

Optional (pinch of dried mint or some fresh coriander) I tried this and it does give it a twist.

Mix all ingredients well and chill for 15-20 mins. It will keep for 3-4 days.
