1
Slice the Onions
Peel the large onions and slice them into 1/4 inch thick rings. Carefully separate the rings and set them aside.

2
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Whisk together until well blended.
3
Add Water
Gradually add the cold water to the dry mixture, stirring continuously until you achieve a smooth, thick batter. Adjust the water as necessary to reach the desired consistency.

4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or a large pot, pour in the vegetable oil and heat it over medium-high heat until it reaches 365°F (185°C).
5
Coat the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off before carefully placing them in the hot oil.
6
Fry the Onion Rings
Fry the onion rings in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
7
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried onion rings using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
