Spicy And Tangy Spring Onion Curry Recipe

Spring onion or scallion is easily available everywhere and are widely used in Asian countries. Mama used to make packets of chopped carrots, cabbage, spring onion greens and peeled peas and then freeze them for a longer run. She makes it particularly to quick cooking when guests arrive unannounced. Mama makes noodles, manchurian balls, salads and schezwan rice using scallions that is certainly a favorite with my friends and cousins who would promptly ask mom to make a big batch of noodles and rice when they would come over for a night out. 

Spring onions have always tasted better when cooked with egg plant and fried rice that keeps me hankering till today. I am in love with spring onions these days that I can almost prepare everything out of these green leaves. Today, I have tried making a recipe using spring onions as the main ingredients and it tastes just splendid.

I always try to share easy, quick and delicious recipes with you all so that you too enjoy cooking effortless food in a less duration of time. I don't like summer at all but I do like one thing about it and it is fresh green vegetables. I like the mild flavor of spring onions and love to use it in many recipes. Me and my loving husband aren't feeling well from the past four days, so I thought to prepare this simple yet delicious curry using readily available ingredients in my pantry.
