Onions are one of the most versatile and delicious ingredient in cooking. They are eaten either raw or cooked but rarely on their own. They are used to flavour a variety of dishes, such as curries, stews, fried dishes and roasted, as well as soups and salads.

Cutting onions can be a notorious job. Onions contain sulpur rich volatile oil. Release of the oil during peeling and cutting and cutting brings tears to the eyes. But many cooks claims that tearing can be avoided by peeling and cutting onions under running water. Another way to peel onions are to soak them in water for some time before peeling.
