Fried onions are used for garnishing various food recipes like biryani, soups and salads. They can be pan fried or deep fried.
Ingredients
- Onions - 2
- Corn flour - 1 tbsp
- Oil - for deep frying
Method
- Peel the onions and cut them into thin slices lengthwise.
- Sprinkle corn flour on the slices and lightly toss them to coat.
- Heat oil in a pan for deep frying.
- Reduce the flame to medium. Add few onion slices and deep fry until golden brown and crisp.
- Remove and place on paper towels to absorb oil.
- Repeat the process until all onions are fried.
Tips
- Corn flour is optional. In that case, pat dry onions well with kitchen towel to absorb the moisture. But if you want crispy ones corn flour is a must.
- Ensure the oil is not very hot and cook in medium flame to cook thoroughly.
- Do not overcrowd the slices and fry in small batches.
