Onion pickle is one of my favourite pickle. My mom used to make it in summer season. It could be made using both small (shallots) as well big onion. I love it when it is made using big onion. My grand mother used to make it and my dad loves it when she makes it. My mom learned from her during her and she taught me. It will be little sweetish and goes well with rasam and curd rice.
