Seenie Sambol (Spicy Onions) (vegan)

This recipe is an authentic Sri Lankan dish my friend, Gail, grew up on. This goes very good with the potato curry.  It is quite oily, so you need some pita bread or rice to soak up the spicy oil.

You will need:

• 4 cups onions, halved and sliced
• 1/4 vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 tsp. paprika
• 1 tsp. chili flakes
• 1 tsp. sugar
• 2 tbsp. white vinegar
• Salt and pepper

Saute onions in oil until well browned   Add in paprika, chili flakes, sugar and garlic.  Add a bit more oil it spices are too dry. Add in vinegar and salt and pepper to taste.
