Method
1

First, make the crispy onions by heating vegetable oil to a depth of 1 cm in a high-sided frying pan or saucepan. Add the sliced onions and fry until deep golden brown – a few minutes. Drain on kitchen paper – they will crisp up as they cool

Heat a splash of oil in a frying pan over medium heat and add the onions. Cook until golden and caramelised – around 30 minutes

  • 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 pinch of turmeric
  • 1 tsp garam masala
