Ingredients
- 2 large onions (thinly sliced into rings)

- 1 tsp red chili powder
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp garam masala

Instructions
- Peel and thinly slice the onions into rings. Separate the rings and set aside.

- Gradually add water to form a thick, smooth batter that coats the onion rings well.
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.

- Carefully drop the coated onion rings into the hot oil in batches.
- Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, flipping occasionally.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Serve hot with chutney or ketchup.
Notes
