A classic Anglo-Indian onion sauce, traditionally served with roast mutton, rabbit, or poultry. This recipe uses Spanish onions for a milder, sweeter flavor, boiled until tender and finished in a creamy milk sauce thickened with butter and flour.

Ingredients

6 whole Large Spanish onions (Spanish onions are recommended for a milder sauce)
2 liters Water (For boiling onions)
1 tsp Salt (for water)
500 ml Whole milk (Adjust quantity for desired thickness)
2 tbsp Butter (Softened)
2 tbsp All-purpose flour
0.5 tsp Salt (To taste)
0.25 tsp White pepper (To taste)

Instructions

1Peel the onions. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole onions and boil until they are very tender.
2Remove the onions from the water, drain well, and chop them finely.
3Place the chopped onions in a stew-pan or saucepan. Pour in the milk and bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat.
4In a small bowl, mash the softened butter and flour together to form a paste (beurre manié). Whisk this paste into the simmering onion and milk mixture bit by bit until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
5Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
