    I generally use the yellow and red ones.... All are equally good for health, but their tastes differ. White onions are used mostly in Mexican cuisine, as their flavour is sharp and hot.

    Hi even I love the flavor of small onions..be it uthapam, sambar, adai or chutney... its unique!
    any tips how to peel them easily?? am lazy with that alone..

    OP, I think all of them are equally good health wise.. different recipes call for different ones.. Its important to use appropriate ones

    Drop them in water for some time, chop the edges and you can peel them easily compared to the dry ones.

    Its very simple
    Immerse required quanity of small onions cut on top of bottom) in a bowl of water the previous night
    Early morning if you want to use it, just take the onions from the water, just place in between the hands and rotate it, so that all the sleeves peel off quickly...
    its just simple and easy too...

    Have fun with small onion.. lolz :)
