Onion Rings

Onion rings are a form of fast food commonly found in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and some parts of Asia. They generally consist of a small or big ring of onion (whose ring-like structure lends itself well to this mode of preparation) dipped in batter or breading and then deep fried. Okay.. Okay.. If you want o know more, read about it in Wikipedia.

Now, there are so many ways of making Onion Rings. Each brings out a different flavor! Hence, what I'm posting here may not be the rule. You can experiment! ;-) But what I tried was scrumptious! Just a bit too oily. :-) So, if you're on some diet, don't eat more than 2-3 pieces! :-D


So, let us begin.....

Adapted from Tarla Dalal's site
Ingredients (for 2 servings)
100 grams (3/4 cup plain flour (maida))
1 tsp cornflour
1/2 cup buttermilk (mix 2 tablespoons curd with water & beat well)
1/2 tsp black pepper powder
A pinch of baking soda
Salt to taste - 2 teaspoons
2 onions , cut into rings
Oil for deep-frying


Method
Combine the plain flour, cornflour, buttermilk, pepper powder, soda-bi-carb and salt in a bowl and mix well to make a batter of pouring consistency. Cut onion into 1 inch slices & separate the rings.

 

Heat the oil in a kadhai, dip the onion rings in the batter, a few at a time, and deep-fry till they are golden brown in colour from both the sides.

 

Drain on absorbent paper and serve immediately with tomato ketchup or your favorite dipping.
