Lachha Onion Salad is basically a simple spiced Onion salad, where in rings of onions are seasoned with lemon juice, spice powders and salt. Lachha Onion salad is also called masala pyaz and is served in many road side eateries (dhabas) and restaurants as condiment or side dish with starter dishes like Tikkas, and pairs well with rice dishes like pulaos and biryanis.
What goes into my version of Lachha Onion Salad / Masala Pyaz : The Ingredients:
Onions: Onion is the key ingredient of this salad. Use large onions, that are less pungent to make this salad. Larger rings of onions make the salad look more appealing.
Lemon juice: lemon juice not only ads a refreshing tangy taste to the salad, but also helps the spice powders stick well to the onion rings.
Spice Powders; I have used Kashmiri red chili powder, crushed black pepper corn, Chaat masala and Dry mint (Pudina) Powder along with salt in this salad.
Green chilies and fresh Coriander : Finely chopped deseeded green chilies for the spicy kick and fresh coriander for the refreshing taste.
I like such fuss-free healthy salads that do not require any fancy ingredients, yet are very flavorful and can be put together in no time. One such salad recipe from Priya's space is Som Tam Recipe / Thai Green Papaya Salad , that is next on my to-do-list.
