Onion Peas Tart

This recipe is contributed by Mrs.Lakshmi- My cousin who lives in Denmark.

Tart is absolutely delicious and very easy to prepare provided, tart pastry is store bought. Else it just takes some extra effort and time to prepare the pastry but I am sure it will be worth a try. In India it can also be a good idea to enquire the local baker if he can sell some tart pastry . Normally they add cream to the tarts but I have used milk instead just on an attempt to reduce some fat !
