That's it, pretty simple ingredients. Your only challenge, and a minor one at that, is to get the chaat masala. You can Google it and make your own, but it is a lot easier to buy the store bought. Chaat masala is essentially a blend of Indian spices including cumin, coriander, ginger, dried mango powder, hing, and some chili powder, among other spices. The flavor profile is incredible to say the least.

Soaking the onions takes that bite out of the onions, which is great in my opinion so you are not walking around after eating them with onion breath. Serve onions alongside your meal and grab a few, including them after some bites. Talk about snap, crackle, and pop! These Indian style onions are sure to please and go really, really well alongside grilled meats, or heck even a bowl of great hummus, pita, and olives. Feel free to cover and refrigerate any leftovers for about a week. Hope you enjoy!
