Ingredients
Instructions
- Peel the small onions and make a plus-shaped '+' slit in the onions. Remember, do not cut the onion, only make a mark.
- Put a pan on the stove and pour half a glass of water in it. Start the heating.
- Add cinnamon, cardamoms, cloves, a pinch of salt and 1 tsp sugar in it. Boil the water well.
- If you want to use beetroot instead of food color, then add beetroot in the boiling water for 1 minute. If you are using food color, then ignore this step.
- While things are boiling in the pan, let us quickly grab a glass jar and put the slit onions in it.
- Add half a cup of vinegar in the jar followed by adding food color.
- Back to the pan now, the water must have boiled and extracted the flavours of raw spices.
- Strain the spices and add the water in the glass jar on top of vingar and onions.
- Now cover this glass jar and put it to rest for about 12 hours so that the onions soak all the flavours.
- Vola! Now enjoy the restaurant like sirka wala pyaz, vinegar onion or pickled onion with your food.

The vinegar should be trasparent. The synthetic vingar would work.
