Restaurant Style Vinegar Onion (Sirke Wale Pyaaz)

Restaurant Style Vinegar Onion or Sirke Wale Pyaaz makes for a great accompaniment for any North Indian style meal and is super easy to make at home. Here is how to make these at home.

All of us have heard of pickled chilies or pickled tomatoes, but pickled onions, not so much! 

Pickled onion or Vinegar Onion are very commonly enjoyed in India.

In India, they are called Sirke Wale Pyaaz and makes for a great accompaniment to any Indian meal.

Crunchy, tangy onions dipped in vinegar and salt for a day or two take the meal with Pickled Onion to a next level.

Rural areas of North and South India enjoy these onions with rustic millet-based rotis such as Masala Jowar Roti or Bakarkhani Roti, chillies and vegetables on the side.

Restaurants often serve sirke wali pyaz on the side, but now you don’t have to wait to go to your favorite restaurant to enjoy these.

These are very easy to make at home and give that same result.

After making Sirke Wale Pyaaz at home, I have stopped liking the ones that they serve at restaurants.

If you mark my words, then once you make this recipe, you would feel the same.

Having said that, it is super easy to make, do note down its simple recipe and definitely try making them at home and savor them with your loved ones.
