We use these in dishes like the Shurbah in Ramadhan [insha Allah will be posting soon], Zurbiyan, Sayadiyyah, Kabsat Shrimp. It’s nice to have it on hand when you need it rather than having to go through the process of making them every time you need them. This is a way for you to make some in advance and store for later use, especially during the month of Ramadhan when you want to cut down on time spent in the kitchen.
Take some onions and cut them into thin or thick slices, according to taste. Toss them in some flour, and fry them. Let them drain on a paper towel. Let them cool down completely before you store them in a plastic or glass jar.
