How to make fried onions

 

    1. Take a few onions and thinly slice them. We have used 4 medium onions which gives us 2 cups of sliced onions.
    2. Sprinkle salt over the onions.
    3. Slowly massage the onions so that they are evenly coated with salt. The salt will release the water from onions. Keep aside for 10 minutes.
    4. Squeeze out the excess water from the onions with your hands. If the onions have too much moisture, the fried onions will not be crispy.
    5. Heat the oil in a deep non-stick pan and deep fry a few onions at a time on a medium flame.
    6. Drain on absorbent paper, let the fried onions cool completely and use as required.
