Ingredients:

Instructions

  1. Place the sliced onions in a bowl, add salt, and squeeze gently. Rest for 5 minutes so the onions release a little moisture.
  2. Add the flours, spices, melted ghee, salt, and enough water to make a thick coating batter.
  3. Keep the mixture aside for 10 minutes so the flavours settle.
  4. Heat the oil in a deep kadai over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
  5. Drop or place small portions of the coated sliced onion into the oil without crowding the kadai.
  6. Fry until crisp and evenly golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain the extra oil.
  7. Serve immediately with green chutney or tomato chutney..
