Method

Preparation of Onions

  1. 1

    Slice the Onions

    Peel the large onions and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set them aside.

Batter Preparation

  1. 2

    Mix the Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk together until well combined.

  2. 3

    Add Cold Water

    Gradually add cold water to the dry ingredients while whisking until you achieve a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the onion rings.

Frying

  1. 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 bubbles and rises, the oil is ready.

  2. 5

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.

  3. 6

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Carefully place the battered onion rings in the hot oil in batches. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan.

  4. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the onion rings from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
