I did not learn to make onion pickle until I got a big basket of onion in discount. I did not know what to do with onions. I tried making few dishes, but still there are more onions. I had never heard of making onion pickles. In search of a pickling method I discussed with my neighbors in Chennai. My neighbor aunty shared this recipe with me. This pickle recipe helped me save my onions. This is a very delicious onion pickle. You can also make this pickle with shallots.
