Crispy Onion Fries are addictive crispy fries made with julienne onions coated with gram flour and deep fried.
These crispy onion fries make an all time addictive snacks to munch on and are very easy to make. All you need is just the onions sliced as juliennes and have the flour sprinkled over it and mixed with spices to make these crispy fries.
These fries have been the oldest ones we have been making for many years now. I previously had this included clubbed together with other varieties of pakodas. When I was going through the old posts, wanting to make a list of dishes I should click again, I noticed this in that post and decided it surely demands a post on its own.
So here you have these crispies, very tasty and you can't just stop with one serving!

Wash and peel the onions. Slice as juliennes. Wash the onions with water and drain it completely.
Take the onions in a bowl, sprinkle salt and red chili powder, combine well.
Now sprinkle the besan over the onions and combine without adding water.
So it is important to wash the onions with water and drain, which will help the besan adhere to the onions.
Adjust the spice and sprinkle more besan if needed. The onions should have a nice, dried coating of the flour.
Heat a Kadai with oil, when hot, sprinkle the onion juliennes in it.
Cook on both sides and drain on a kitchen towel.

Omg, i want a plate of this onion fries Valli, those fried onions are calling me. Prefect evening snacks to munch while the weather is too nasty outside.

Yes this does deserves a post of it's own. These are so addictive and easy to prepare. Pakoda or fries have turned out crispy. I don't wash after slicing the onions. I either let it sit for sometime for onion to release some moisture or use wet hands to mix the mixture. Washing sliced onions is a good tip.
