Onion pickle/challas/sallas

Onion pickle is a super crunchy accompaniment with meat.

  It tastes yummy on top of burgers .We usually have it with cutlets, chicken or beef ularthiyathu and the onion pickle is called sallas. However I substitute  the vinegar with lime juice and it tastes  even better.I make it fresh every time I need and store the remaining in fridge for up to four days.

The pungent taste of the onion is reduced considerably.Let us say  by 80% happy!!
