Although liked by people of all age groups, crispy fried onion rings tops the charts as far as kids are concerned! This recipe for onion rings is super-effective, as baking powder makes the rings puff up wonderfully. The cornflour adds on to its crispiness and the chaat masala gives it the Indian style onion rings taste.

Add approx. ¾ cup of water in a deep bowl and mix well using a whisk till no lumps remain. Cover the batter with a lid and keep aside for 15 minutes. Heat the oil in a deep non-stick pan, dip the onion rings one by one in the batter till they are evenly coated from all the sides and deep-fry in hot oil on a medium flame, till they turn golden brown in colour from all the sides. You can deep-fry 4 to 5 onion rings at a time. Sprinkle some chaat masala over the onion rings immediately and toss lightly. Serve immediately.
