Today I had onion flower curry with prawns and rice. The onion flower is called peyanjkoli in bengali. It can be cooked in a vegetarian way also with potatoes. My mother cooks it with with prawns. It tastes lovely with rice.

@Beestring thanks Cheung it is a fact that onion is used both as a vegetable and also a a salad. Onion flower is only used in curry

I love prawns so I'd probably enjoy this dish. Do you have it very often?
