Ingredients:

Medium size red onions 4
Fine corn flour 1/2 cp
Egg whites from 1-2 eggs
Salt as per taste
Chili powder / pepper powder – 1 spoon
Lemon juice from 1 fruit
Oil for frying.

Method:

Remove the outer skin of these onions and slice them vertically. Maybe to quarter inch thickness. Then separate them to rings and set aside.

In a large bowl…..add corn flour, salt, chili powder, lemon juice and egg whites. Mix them thoroughly to get runny consistency batter.

In a deep pan, heat oil. Maintain the stove in medium heat.

Just before frying…..dip the onions into this batter for few seconds or until the batter coats to it evenly. Drip away the excess batter.

Then fry them in hot oil….til golden brown. Leave them over kitchen tissue for few seconds then tranfer it to serving plate.

Repeat this proces for remainng onions too. One should fry very less in each batch, never load your oil. Maintasin your stove over medium heat.

This can be served generally as starters……but still one can use this for decoration. Like when serving fried fish or chicken, toss little fried onions over them and serve along with lemon wedges. It gives a rich look to your fried food.
