This recipe is amazing. I've made the original recipe (and loved it), but I recently made it with white onions and curry spices and it was incredible. I toasted the peppercorns in a dry pan with cardamom puds, coriander seeds, and black mustard seeds, and then added them to the onions with turmeric powder and thinly sliced Thai chili. Recommended and really easy to make it your own. -
I made these and added them to the potluck last week. Big hit, Thanks!
