  • Canola Oil for frying
  • 1 large yellow onion, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch thick rounds
  • ¼ cup (30g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (125g) chickpea flour
  • ¼ cup (60g) cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon (4g) ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon (4g) ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon (2g) cayenne pepper
  • ½ teaspoon (2g) ground coriander
  • ½ teaspoon (2g) garam masala

Steps

  1. Heat oven to 200F (93C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with a cooling rack; set aside.
  2. Heat 1½-inches (4cm) of oil in a large, heavy bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven to 350F (176C).
  3. Separate onion slices into rings. Toss rings into a large bowl with all-purpose flour to coat.
  4. Whisk together remaining ingredients except water in a large bowl. Whisk in water until combined.
