Fry Onions for topping

Fried onions is a very common ingredient you may find in most of the Indian biryani or pulav rice. This fried onions gives a nice crunchy taste and enhances the look of rice too. Frying onion for biryani/pulav rice is quite easy actually. Here are the steps. Once prepared and kept ready, you can garnish this fried onion on any rice item of your choice.

Ingredients:

1. Big onions - 2 to 3, slit lengthwise.
2. Corn flour (or) Rice flour - 1/4 Cup.
3. Oil - 5 to 6 tbsp for deep frying.


Method:

1. Sprinkle the flour on the slit onions and mix well. 


2. Heat the oil and deep fry until the onions turn light brown and transfer the fried onions on to tissue paper to absorb any excess oil.


3. Sprinkle on any rice item of your choice.

 


Tips:

1. No Need to use salt in this preparation. Adding salt, will ooze out water from the onions. Then during frying, the oil will splutter too much.
2. Fry the onions till they turn light brown, once they are removed out of the oil, they gain little more colour. If it is fried too much brown, they turn out black after removing.
