Small Onion (Chinna Vengayam) - Tiny Flavorful Bulbs

Small Onions, also known as Chinna Vengayam or Shallots, are prized in Indian cooking for their naturally sweet, sharp flavour and rich aroma. Carefully selected for freshness and quality, these tiny bulbs enhance the depth and taste of traditional dishes.
