I was just watching a television show - Restaurant Impossible ... and thus got inspired for my quick finger licking snack - Onion rings, which are equally famous to French fries here in USA
Ingredients:
For the Spiced Ketchup
1 cup tomato sauce or ketchup
1 Tbsp stone ground mustard / Dijon mustard if you have on hand
1 Tbsp chilli paste
For the Onion Rings
3 large yellow onion, cut into roundel s- about 1/8th " thick
Oil for frying
1 cup Maida / All purpose flour
Salt and Pepper for seasoning
Ice cold water
To go about:--
Soak the onion rings for about 15- 20 mins in ice cold water. Next drain ensuring the onion has no more water in it
Lay it on a paper towel for a min
Preheat your oil - in case you are used to a thermometer 375 F is the point
In a bowl, blend the flour - salt and pepper mixing them well
Add one - third of the onion, mix the onion well tapping off excess flour and add to the fryer cooking until they are crisp , say about for 2 - 3 minutes
Once done, transfer to a paper towel to remove the excess oil
Repeat the same procedure with the remaining onions - in batches
For the Spiced Ketchup: Mix all the ingredients well
In a plate arrange the onion rings along with the spiced ketchup. You can also garnish with some mint leaves (Onion and Mint really go on very well )
Note:
If you want it a little Indian style flavor, you can add some chilly powder and ajwain / carom seeds to the flour mixture
Adding garam masala also would give you the Indian touch
Usually onion rings are coated with a batter made with flour and seasoning, but I did not want to overload myself with the taste of the flour, this also turned to be great where you can actually bite into a combination of sweaty and caramelised onions
I could not take a picture of this , as it was at my friends place , but next time I make it at home, will surely shoot some good pics
