½ tsp turmeric powder

½ tsp red chili powder

½ tsp black pepper

Heat oil in a deep pan on medium flame. To check if it's ready, drop a little batter—if it rises immediately, the oil is perfect.

4. Coat the Onion Rings

Dip each onion ring into the batter, making sure it’s fully coated.

🔥 Pro Tips for Perfect Onion Rings

Add rice flour → makes them extra crispy

Don’t make batter too thin

Fry on medium heat (high heat burns outside, inside stays raw)

For extra crunch: double dip (batter → dry flour → batter → fry)

⚡ Quick Variation (No Rice Flour)

If you don’t have rice flour, just use more besan—it will still taste great, just slightly less crispy.
