Onion or eerulli rice is a very easy and quick rice bath recipe that can be served as a breakfast, a light dinner or can be packed for the lunch box. Onion rice is prepared using cooked rice, onion, rasam powder, salt, tamarind, jaggery, curry leaves, mustard, cumin, turmeric and coriander leaves.

You can find very tasty onion rasam recipe on this website, which is also very easy and simple to prepare.
