Sliced Onions & Lemon

Sometimes the simplest sides make the biggest difference. Curry Gate's Onions and Lemon is a fresh plate of thinly sliced raw onions served with juicy lemon wedges, just like you'd find on tables at restaurants and dhabas across India. Squeeze the lemon over the onions for a crisp, tangy crunch that cuts through rich, creamy curries and brings out the smoky flavor of tandoori dishes.

It's the traditional finishing touch for tandoori chicken, kebabs and biryani, and it pairs perfectly with butter chicken, tikka masala and warm naan. The fresh bite and bright citrus help balance heavier dishes, making every mouthful taste as good as the first.
