The Process
Get a clean chopping board and a clean vegetable cutting knife you feel comfortable using.
First, cut all three onions very finely and place in a medium sized clean bowl.
Cut the cucumber and tomato very finely, leave the mint sauce, methi leaves, fresh slice of lemon and corriander until last.
Cut the fresh slice of lemon and corriander very very fine, because the finer you cut them the better fusion of taste you will get.
Place everything in the bowl including the mint sauce and methi leaves.
Mix all the ingredients together slowly and as carefully as possible so as not to squash them, which will release the moisture, which you do not want!
VOILA! there you have it, onion salad/chutney you made yourself to enjoy with poppadoms from your local Indian restaurant/takeaway or a supermarket!
Enjoy.

@ Tenblogger, poppadoms are very nice aren't they? Especially with Onion salad, mango chutney and lime pickle! Yum yum!
does anyone know what the orange coloured coconut type stuff is that is sometimes served with poppadoms?
It's just dessicated coconut with orange food colouring. Nothing special, just to make it look attractive.
