Recipes without Onion.

erm..got a slight issue… :@:

I had LASIK done , so cant cook for a few days … basically its onion and foods that require lots of bhoon’na , that i got to stay from ..

The only two dishes i know that dont require the two are :
Stir fry’s and chicken karahi…

Anyone knows of any other dishes i can do?

Re: Recipes without Onion.

roasted chicken and veges
breaded chicken cutlets, topped with cheese and your fav jarred pasta sauce
lasagna/ziti/pasta salads
fish - battered and fried/baked or pan sauted and topped with your fav quick lemon/mustard sauce

order out!

Delhi biryani.

Re: Recipes without Onion.

The only onion-less dish I know is kidney beans curry.

Fry some ginger/garlic paste. Add spices and tomatoes. Bhoon a little, cover and let tomatoes cook. After oil seperates, add beans and some water. Let it cook on medium heat, only takes about half an hour.

I have been making karahi’s all week… :hayaa:

Sajal , i am going to try that beans recipe inshallah. TLK haleem looks good :aliyish:

Re: Recipes without Onion.

CB, let me know how it turned out. Every time I have nothing else to cook I open up a couple cans of kidney beans, boil some rice and serve with salad and mint chutney. Makes a delicious meal.

it's called getting hubby to make you dinner for a change :p once you're eyes get better, you can go back to cooking! :D

Re: Recipes without Onion.

You can put onions in fridge for sometime, won't get any tears.

Also saw this tip on tv to prevent tears...and it did work..if you dont have time to put em in the fridge just hold a steel spoon in your mouth whilst cutting onion.

Re: Recipes without Onion.

Masi thats pure torture yaar :hayaa: holding a spoon in the mouth while cutting onions :omg:

I think if you put the sliced onions into cold water immediately after cutting them, they wont get to the eyes , but mine are a bit too sensitive , I cry buckets when i am doing the onions :omg:

Re: Recipes without Onion.

Get fried onions packet from any desi store. Who cuts and fries onions to golden brown if you already have it ready-made.

Re: Recipes without Onion.

funguy is right....I always have a pack of fried onions in the cupboard.
you can also make qorma without raw onions.
I have the same problem....I cry buckets when chopping them.....putting them in the fridge helps.
I will have to try the spoon trick. Anyone know why that works?

Re: Recipes without Onion.

i was going to mention the fried onions in a packet too, CB u can get hold of east ends fried onions or many others frm ur local desi retailer

Re: Recipes without Onion.

wow , thanks guys … sweetu i will go look for it …

Muzna , yesterday i did the water trick , it worked fine … I reckon you try that , its easier then the spoon thingy ..:omg:

Just have some cold water ready in a bowl , and dip the onions ASAP into the cold water as soon as you peel them, then as you slice/chop onions , add then into the water again … drain and use ..

Re: Recipes without Onion.

I will definitely try that.
