SWEET AND SPICY ONION RELISH
Steps:
- Peel the onions, cut in half and slice into 1-inch pieces. Add the onions and the vegetable oil to a large saucepan, over medium-low heat, and saute until soft. Stir in the black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, garlic and brown sugar until incorporated. Add half of the root beer and let reduce until starting to get thick. Stir in the remaining root beer and continue to reduce until the liquid is almost completely evaporated.
- Serve on top of good quality, natural casing hot dogs with a good brown mustard and a little mayonnaise, to taste.
PYAZ KA LACCHA (RAW ONION RELISH)
These floppy, lightly pickled onions are a traditional accompaniment to grilled and tandoor foods throughout India and the rest of South Asia. There are different versions depending on the region, but all are seasoned with salt, spiked with chile (either powdered or fresh) and brightened with some kind of acid, usually lemon juice or vinegar. This recipe, adapted from "Madhur Jaffrey's Indian Cooking" (Barron's, 1983), uses a combination of sweet paprika and cayenne for an earthy, nuanced flavor, and you can add the spices to taste, making this as fiery or mild as you like. Soaking the onion slices in water before mixing the relish helps soften their sharpness, but you can skip this step if you prefer a stronger onion flavor.

Steps:
- Put onions in a bowl and cover with cold water. Set aside to soak for 15 minutes. (This removes some of the onion's bite, but you can skip this step if you'd like a stronger onion flavor.)
- Drain onions and thoroughly pat dry. Return onions to the bowl and stir in lemon juice, salt, paprika and cayenne. Let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld before serving. Taste and add more salt, lemon and spices, if you like.
- Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Serve alongside grilled or roasted meats and fish; stuff into sandwiches, especially grilled cheese or tuna salad; use as a topping for pizza, burgers and hot dogs; scramble into eggs; toss into salads, especially starchy grain and potato salads.

INDIAN ONION RELISH
I am trying to find out what ingredients are in the onion stuff that every Indian restaurant I've ever been to gives you to have with your meal. It's obviously diced onions, and it is a bright or deep red, sometimes even an orange color. It's usually spicy hot to varying degrees, depending on the restaurant. Thanks in advance! Madhur Jaffrey's book _Indian Cooking_ describes this as being one of the relishes that may be served with almost every Indian meal, also familiar to people who dine in Indian restaurants. Perhaps this is what you are looking for, but if not, you might try other Indian cookbooks for onion chutney recipes. It should be under the condiments section. Indian Onion Relish Serves 4

Steps:
- 1. Peel onions, and cut them in thin slices. Separate the shreds, and wash them in several changes of cold water, squeezing them slightly. Be careful not to squeeze the shreds too hard, or you may crush them. Put them in a bowl, add chili, and sprinkle them with lemon juice or vinegar, and salt. Toss. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the right onions: Red onions are the traditional choice for this relish, but you can also use white or yellow onions. Red onions have a sharper flavor, while white and yellow onions are milder.
- Slice the onions thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
- Use a hot pan: This will help to caramelize the onions and bring out their sweetness.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too many onions at once, they will not cook evenly.
- Stir the onions frequently: This will prevent them from burning.
- Add the spices: Once the onions are caramelized, add the spices and cook for a few minutes more.
- Taste the relish and adjust the seasonings: Add more spices or vinegar to taste.
Conclusion:
Indian hot onion relish is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Use it as a topping for burgers, hot dogs, or grilled meats. You can also add it to sandwiches, wraps, or salads. It's also a great way to use up leftover onions. So next time you have some extra onions on hand, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
