Onion prices still sky high

It's been quite a while since onion prices hit high prices. Still there seems to be no respite as the prices still hover well above the common man's reach. At the food court in my workplace, I was surprised to see biriyani without a single slice of onion. The main side dish for biriyani, raitha (diced onion soaked in curd with some salt) was all curd and cucumber, but no sign of onion. It looks like it will more time than expected to see the beloved onion back in the dishes.


Though some might ridicule me but I've always been amused by how some people have the talent to chop onions very finely. I found a video to just find out how it is done. Check this out if you want to know about the 'Fine cut' of onions for your cuisine.
