Ingredients

½ cups All-purpose flour
½ cup Chickpea flour
½ teaspoon Cumin
½ teaspoon Black sesame seeds
¼ teaspoon Red chili powder
½ teaspoon Garlic powder
½ teaspoon Onion powder
Salt To taste
Pepper To taste
½-1 cup Water To make a smooth batter consistency
1 Onion Large, Peeled, Thinly sliced
Oil For frying

Instructions

Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
While the oil is heating, make the batter.
In a large Ziploc bag, add all-purpose flour, chickpea flour, cumin, black sesame seeds, red chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, water. You can use a large mixing bowl but Ziploc bag allows for easier clean up.
Mix until batter is thick and smooth.
Add onion slices in the batter and mix until fully coated.
Place spoonfuls of this onion mixture gently in hot oil.
Turn over as needed a few times for even frying and until fritters are golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove them from oil and place them on a large tray, lined with paper towels. Enjoy.

Notes

Add more or less seasonings per your preference and you can even use other seasoning blends that you enjoy.
You must have a thick batter so that it sticks to the onions properly and doesn't slide off during frying.
For an extra crispy factor, mix in 1-2 tablespoon rice flour.
Read additional tips and variations above.
This tastes best when served immediately. Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the the fridge for up 1 day and reheated in a toaster oven or air fryer but they won't be as crispy as before.
