Instructions:

Heat the oil: Begin by heating the cooking oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Add onion flakes: Once the oil is hot, carefully add the onion flakes to the skillet.
Stir-fry: Briskly stir-fry the onion flakes for about 1 minute, ensuring they are evenly coated with the oil and start turning golden brown.
Keep them moving: It’s crucial to keep the onion flakes moving continuously during the frying process to prevent them from burning.
Drain: Once the onion flakes turn a crispy golden brown, promptly remove them from the heat and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate or a wire rack to drain off any excess oil.
Serve: Your crispy Onion Tarka is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve it hot as a garnish over your favorite Indian dishes or let it cool completely and store it in an airtight container for later use. It adds a delightful crunch and flavor to salads, soups, curries, and more!
