Onion Pickle


This Indian Onion Pickle, a typical Penang Indian Food is a must for every occasion.
It is a healthy accompaniment to any rich oily curry dish.


Though it is an easy dish to prepare, you can find onion pickle mostly being served when you eat our local Mamak food called Murtabak. Murtabak is relatively close to roti Chanai. I wish they use a better quality vinegar as most stalls have it too sharp.


This pickle keeps very well in the refrigerator. But in my house, we served it mostly in every Deepavali to cut down all the rich food that is laid on the table.


My very old uncle advised me to cook this Indian Masak as it washes down the spicy curries. So like a good obedient niece, this reminder got stuck and I have perfected this dish over the years.


marinating sauce for salads

The onion after marinating will turn pinkish. It goes very well with Murtabak!


You do know Murtabak is very oily and rich. The vinegar when added correctly taste so sweet and refreshing.
