Tips:

  • Choose the right onions: Red onions are the most popular choice for tandoori onion salad, as they have a slightly sweet and tangy flavor that pairs well with the spices. However, you can also use white or yellow onions if you prefer.
  • Slice the onions thinly: This will help them to absorb the marinade more easily and cook evenly in the oven.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives tandoori onion salad its characteristic flavor. Be sure to use a combination of spices that you enjoy, such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: When you're roasting the onions, be sure to spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
  • Roast the onions until they're tender: The onions should be tender but still have a slight bite to them. Depending on the size of the onion slices and the temperature of your oven, this could take anywhere from 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Tandoori onion salad is best served immediately after it's made, while the onions are still warm and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Tandoori onion salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy recipe that's sure to impress, give tandoori onion salad a try.
