Add 3 medium onions and 3 small onions, sliced thinly, to the pan.

Add salt to taste and sauté the onions until they are soft and translucent, ensuring they do not dry out.

Cover the pan and cook on low flame, stirring occasionally, until the onions are browned.

Once the onions are browned, add the spices: 1 tablespoon of turmeric powder, 1 tablespoon of coriander powder, and 1 tablespoon of red chili powder (adjust the chili powder to your spice preference).
