Hari says

No Punjabi meal is complete unless it's served with a small side dish that's pungent and flavorsome. These can be salads, chutneys or pickles made from any vegetable or fruit but what they do have in common is that they have to be hot, tangy, spicy and bring your mouth to life. 

This piyaz or onion dish does exactly that, it's zingy, nose tinglingly pungent and has a chilli kick to boot. It's the perfect accompaniment to a rich lamb curry and is equally good as a side salad with a lovely kebab.

    The written recipe calls for chaat masala, the video calls for garam masala. Which is it?

      Ideally Chaat masala for that tang but if you don't have that you can use garam masala.
