My kitchen would not function without onions. I put it in almost all my savory food because it's one of the best ways to develop flavor. Most dishes around the world start with onions, but it's only an ingredient... never the star of the dish. Now in Sri Lanka we make a lot of onion dishes that put the onion front and center. Two dishes we make a lot are Lunu Miris (onion and chili sambol) and Deviled Onions (Seeni Sambol). Now today's Spicy Onion Curry shows the same amount of love to the onion. It's so quick an easy to make and it's becoming one of my favorite go to dishes to make when I need a spicy gravy to eat roti or naan. You can even boil some eggs and add to this dish to make it even more hearty. This dish can be made vegan or vegetarian. It can be eaten with rice and curry or with bread/flat breads. So don't make your onions just a simple ingredient... make it the main ingredient.
