Ingredients for Brown Onions:

- White Onions (preferably large size) - Quantities as required
- Oil for deep frying.

Preparation:

- Slice the onions lengthwise, from stem to root. Make sure the slices are even.
- Separate the slices by hand and keep aside.

Process:

- Heat oil in a pan or skillet for deep frying. The oil should be medium hot.
- Drop the onion slices in the hot oil.
- Keep the flame/heat on medium to high levels. Regulate the heat if the oil is getting too hot.
- The frying process should take about 10-12 mins.
- Keep stirring the onions continuously so as not to burn the edges.
- Watch for the change in color of the onions. Once they start turning light brown, it’s almost time to remove from oil.
- Once they are slight golden remove from oil. The color will darken a bit more after removing.
