Fried Onion Rings

I love Fried Onion Rings.They are  crispy,spicy and delicious to eat and can be served as an easy and fast party appetizer. The batter should be smooth and while making it you can also use milk instead of water and add a lot of spices and seasonings if you want. I fried them using a frying pan as I am more comfortable using frying pans.You can use a deep fryer if you wish.Here is my recipe :):)



INGREDIENTS:

* 3-4 onions,peeled and thinly sliced into rings.
* 1 cup plain flour.
* 1 egg , well beaten.
* 1/2 tbsp Baking powder.
* 1/2 tbsp Chilli powder.
*  Salt to taste.
* Oil for deep frying.
* Water / Milk.

METHOD:

1. In a bowl, combine flour,egg, chilli powder,baking powder,salt and water. Mix everything well to a smooth batter.

2. Heat oil in a pan.Dip onion rings into batter .(Put a light coating of flour on the onion rings before dipping them in the batter as it helps the batter stick to them better).

3.Fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

4.Serve immediately with ketchup.
