Ingredients
- 500 grams Small pearl onions
- 250 milliliters White vinegar
- 250 milliliters Water
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 15 grams Salt
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Coriander seeds
- 1 teaspoon Whole black peppercorns
- 2 pieces Bay leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the small pearl onions by blanching them in boiling water for 2 minutes, then transferring them to an ice bath to loosen the skins. Gently remove the skins and trim any roots or tough tops.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, salt, turmeric powder, mustard seeds, coriander seeds, black peppercorns, bay leaves, and chili flakes (if using). Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar and salt have dissolved.
Step 3
Carefully pack the peeled onions into sterilized glass jars, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top.
Step 4
Pour the hot pickling brine over the onions, ensuring they are fully submerged. Use a clean spoon to gently press the onions down and release any trapped air bubbles.
Step 5
Seal the jars with lids and allow them to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, store the jars in the refrigerator.
Step 6
For best flavor, let the pickled onions sit for at least 24 hours before using. They will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
