Five curries to make without onions! Definitely a post to bookmark!
So about an hour ago, I got yet another joke on whatsapp on the soaring onion prices and while I laughed I also wondered that what do I cook without onion. I know a lot of Rajasthani and Jain food is indeed cooked without onion but otherwise onion is a pretty integral part of Indian cooking. At least the cooking I do at all. But when I looked on the blog I realised I do have some yummy dishes which are made without onions on the blog and just for fun, here are the top five favorites curries to make without onions!
