    Ingredients

    You will need red onions, Kashmiri red chilli powder, chaat masala, salt, green chilies, cilantro (fresh coriander leaves), and freshly squeezed lime juice.

    You can adjust the spices and green chilies according to your taste.

    How To Make Laccha Onions

    Peel 2 medium-sized onions and rinse them with water.

    Discard ½-inch pieces from the top and bottom and cut the onions into thin rings.

    Soak the onion rings in ice-cold water for 2-3 minutes.

    Soaking the onions in chilled water reduces their bitterness and also makes them crunchier.
