Onion Tarka is the traditional crispy brown onion garnish sprinkled over many Indian dishes. This is a quick version that will keep in an airtight container for several weeks.

1. Heat the oil, then add the onion flakes. 2. Briskly stir-fry for about 1 minute. They will burn easily so keep them moving. 3. Remove from heat and drain. Serve hot or cold.
