Fiery is the correct name for this onion relish; therefore serve only

to fire-eaters!

1/2 tsp. coarse salt or to taste

1/2 lemon, finely chopped, with peel

1 1/2 tsps. light vegetable oil

1 tsp. cayenne pepper

Put the onion, salt and chopped lemon in a bowl and toss well.

Heat the oil in a small frying pan until very hot.

Turn off the heat.

Stir in the cayenne and paprika, and immediately pour the oil on the

onions, use a rubber spatula to get all of it. Add the chat masala and

toss again.

onions will turn soft and limp. 1 cup.
