Onion Flower Ingredients

Method

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.
