Browning onions quickly

Most Pakistani recipes call for onions that need to be sautéd till light brown. To get this done quickly, just sprinkle a good pinch of salt on the onions (salt quantity for approximately 1 large onion) while browning and they will get done sooner. It is a good idea to brown onions in advance and store them in an air-tight container in the refrigerator to save time while cooking.
