1
Prepare the Onions
Peel the large onions and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rings. Separate the rings gently and set aside.
2
Make the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
3
Add Water
Gradually add the cold water to the dry ingredients, mixing until you achieve a smooth batter consistency. The batter should be thick enough to coat the onion rings.
4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small amount of batter into it; if it sizzles, it’s ready.
5
Fry the Onions
Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring they are well coated. Carefully place them in the hot oil, frying a few at a time to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
6
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
