This recipe is so easy, you can make it faster than reheating the frozen rings 🙂

Cut the onion in rings. I am using white onions, I have tried with red onions too. So yellow, white , red…they are all good.

The shortcut to the batter is to use  pancake mix . To  cup of pancake mix , add red chilli powder, garlic powder, a pinch of salt. In case you can’t get pancake mix, you can make your own as below :
1/2 cup flour
3/4 tsp salt
pepper
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 egg beaten
1/2 cup milk

 

Add water to make a batter, the batter doesn’t have to be smooth. consistency similar to bajji/pakora batter.

Bread crumbs ( any kind, regular, panko or pulsed cornflakes).

Dip the onion rings in the batter and then roll them in bread crumbs.

These are ready to be fried. 

Fry the rings in oil to golden brown.

Coating with bread crumbs is optional. I prefer just batter fried rings… kids do love the crunch of the bread crumbs.
