Hi Archana,
Thank you for your concern. This video was made (filmed) before that law got into effect for Texas ?
Stay safe & Happy Cooking!
Nice ideas . Thanks
Thank you and Stay safe.
You guys get to buy fried onions? Are they fried to a crisp? How does it taste when cooked in a simple sauteed vegetable dish? I wonder if we can make our own and refrigerate it.
Hi Ana,
Yes, the South Asian Grocery stores carry then and yes, they are crisp. They work really well and it’s a little short-cut when I don’t feel like making the masala from scratch…use them rarely and not on a everyday basis.
They are easy to make at home. You can fry them or air-fry them and store it in your pantry for later use.
Happy Cooking!
You are growing lovelier and lovelier!
Thank you for your love and support ??
