Onion Bhuthi is a traditional Konkani preparation which goes well with both Rice and Roti. Our forefathers made this Onion Bhuthi during the monsoon season, as vegetables were scarce then, because of the incessant rains. Onions could be bought during summer and stored in bulk. Onion Ambat, Onion Gozzu, Onion Tamballi and Onion Upkari were the other dishes prepared. Each has its own unique taste. You can find the recipes to all in this website.
