Ingredients

• 2 large onions (cut into rings)

• 1 cup all-purpose flour (maida)

• ½ cup cornflour

• 1 tsp baking powder

• Salt to taste

• ½ tsp black pepper powder

• 1 tsp red chili powder (optional for spice)

• 1 cup chilled water (adjust as needed)

• Bread crumbs (for coating)

• Oil (for deep frying)

 Instructions

1. Prepare the Onions:
   Peel and slice the onions into ½-inch thick rings. Gently separate each layer into individual rings.

2. Make the Batter:
   In a mixing bowl, combine maida, cornflour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and chili powder. Gradually add chilled water to make a smooth, slightly thick batter.

3. Coat the Rings:
   Dip each onion ring into the batter, then roll it in bread crumbs for an extra crispy texture.

4. Heat the Oil:
   Heat oil in a deep pan on medium flame. Check if it’s ready by dropping a small bit of batter — if it sizzles and rises, the oil is hot enough.

5. Fry the Onion Rings:
   Drop the coated rings gently into the oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides.

6. Serve Hot:
   Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve with ketchup, mayo, or cheese dip!

 Tips for Perfect Onion Rings

• Always use chilled water for the batter — it helps make the coating airy and crisp.

• You can add a pinch of turmeric or paprika for extra color.

• For a healthier version, you can air fry or bake them at 200°C for 12–15 minutes.

•  Serving Suggestion

Serve these onion rings hot with your favorite sauces — spicy mayo, cheese dip, or classic tomato ketchup. They’re perfect for snacks, parties, or even as a crunchy burger side!
