About Our Fried Onions

Fried onions — popularly known as birista or barista — are thinly sliced onions fried in vegetable oil until golden-brown and crisp. They deliver a rich, sweet, caramelised onion flavour and a satisfying crunch, and are a staple garnish and flavour base for biryani, pulao, curries, kormas, soups, burgers and Middle Eastern and Asian cuisine. Being fully cooked and ready to use, they save commercial kitchens the time, labour and tears of slicing and frying onions in-house.

We manufacture fried onions in three types to suit different applications: fresh fried (pure onion with no coating), coated (with a light flour coating for extra crunch and longer crispness), and dehydrated fried. Each type is available in red, white and pink onion, and in bulk as well as HoReCa and private-label retail packs.
