Chopped, sliced or even pickled in vinegar, an onion lover is crazy about this vegetable in whatever form it is served.
Mostly used to enhance the flavour of a dish or eaten as a part of salads, not many know that an onion can also be used as the main ingredient while preparing a dish.
"Onions are generally used for adding flavour, but when you use onion as a whole dish, it makes for a really interesting variant. It is the most versatile vegetable in its own right, as onions can be fried, boiled, roasted, grated and sautéed, or used as a classic ingredient in dishes such as onion tart, onion pickles, onion sauces, onion dips, onion marmalade and Spanish tortilla," says chef Karan Talwar.
And yes, this veggie comes packed with lots of positive health benefits. From the good old French onion soup to even a sweet dish made using onion, we get you some recipes with onion as the main ingredient.
