Tamarind onions build layers of flavor fast. The ghee softens their bite while tamarind cuts through with sweet-sour intensity. They bring contrast to anything rich, folded into lentils, spooned over mashed potatoes or tucked inside stuffed breads.

Ingredients

  • 45 g ghee

  • 1 large red onion, thinly sliced into half-moons

  • 1 tsp kosher salt

  • 1 tsp black pepper

  • 1 tsp kashmiri chili powder

  • 1-2 tbsp tamarind concentrate, to taste

Method

  • Heat ghee in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering.
  • Add onion, salt, black pepper and chili powder. Cook, stirring often, until onion is translucent, about 15 minutes. Turn off heat.
  • Stir in tamarind concentrate until evenly coated and glossy.
