If you're looking for the crispiest, most satisfying onion rings, you're in the right place! Trust me, once you try these extra crispy onion rings, you’ll get the same reaction from everyone: "Wow, these are so crispy!" Here's how to make them:

Ingredients:

• 1 medium-sized onion
• 1/2 cup besan (gram flour)
• 2 tbsp cornflour
• Salt (to taste)
• 1 tsp red chilli powder (for that perfect kick)
• 1/2 tsp haldi powder (turmeric)
• 1 tsp chilli flakes (optional, for an extra spice hit)
• Water (to make a semi-thick batter)
• Cornflakes (or breadcrumbs, for coating)
• Oil (for frying)
• Peri Peri masala (for a nice twist)
• Fresh coriander (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Onion: Start by peeling and slicing the onion into rings. Be careful as you remove the rings, and set them aside.
2. Make the Batter: In a bowl, mix besan, cornflour, salt, red chilli powder, haldi powder, and chilli flakes. Add just enough water to make a semi-thick batter (not too runny, not too thick).
3. Coat the Onion Rings: Take each onion ring and dip it into the besan batter. Coat it well. After that, roll the battered rings in crushed cornflakes (or breadcrumbs) to get that crunchy exterior.
4. Fry the Rings: Heat oil in a pan on medium heat. Fry the onion rings until golden brown and crispy. The key is frying them on medium heat to make sure they cook evenly without burning.
5. Serve and Enjoy: Once they're crispy, take them out, garnish with fresh coriander, and serve with your favorite dip or chutney. You can make a quick mayo dip by mixing mayonnaise, fresh coriander, peri peri masala, and a dash of pizza-pasta sauce.

FAQs:

1. Can I use breadcrumbs instead of cornflakes?

Yes, you can use breadcrumbs if you prefer, but cornflakes give the onion rings an extra crunchy texture.

2. How do I know the oil is hot enough for frying?

Drop a small piece of batter into the oil. If it sizzles and rises quickly, the oil is ready. If it sinks, the oil is not hot enough.

3. Can I make the batter in advance?

It’s best to make the batter fresh, but you can prepare it an hour ahead of time and store it in the fridge.

4. How do I store leftover onion rings?

Store any leftover onion rings in an airtight container. Reheat them in an oven for a few minutes to bring back the crispiness.

Now, get ready to enjoy some of the crispiest onion rings you’ve ever had! They make the perfect snack, side dish, or even an appetizer at your next gathering.
