Рецепт Challas/Saralas (Kerala Onion Salad)

by Nisa Homey

Challas or Saralas or instant pickled onion is Kerala's own onion salad, which is a must with Kerala fish fry, biriyani, chicken fry, or even plain roti.

Author: Nisa Homey

Ingredients:

Onion: One large, thinly sliced.

Green chilly: 1, thinly sliced (optional, I did not use here as the fish fry I served was spicy enough)

Vinegar (I used vinegar made from coconut water) : 1 tsp.

Water: About half to one cup.

Salt: A big fat pinch or as needed.

Method:

Place thinly sliced onions onto a plate, add water....simply squeeze out the water.

Add in the vinegar and salt....it is best to rub everything together with your hand.

Instant pickled onion salad is ready.
