Onion Flower Recipe

Onion Flower Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Onion

   Peel the outer skin of the onion and carefully cut the top off. Make a deep cut into the onion to create petal-like sections without cutting all the way through. Soak the onion in cold water for about 30 minutes to help it open up.

2. 2

   Make the Batter

   In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Gradually whisk in the cold water until you achieve a smooth batter.

3. 3

   Heat the Oil

   In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

4. 4

   Batter the Onion

   Carefully remove the soaked onion from the water and let it drain. Dip the onion into the batter, ensuring the petals are coated evenly.

5. 5

   Fry the Onion Flower

   Gently place the battered onion into the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the onion flower warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
