Method
Get ready by peeling the onions and slicing them into thin rings. Wash and finely chop the green chilli and coriander leaves. Put the onion slices in cold water and soak for 10 minutes until they are crisp.
Drain the onions well and gently shake off the extra water. Keep them in a mixing bowl.
Add the green chilli, coriander leaves, lemon juice, salt, red chilli powder and chaat masala powder. Mix gently until the onion slices are evenly coated.
Serve the salad immediately with the meal. The onions should still be crisp.
