    Blooming onion snack is known to me only in recent few years. But the technique of cutting onion like a lotus is not new to me. When I saw blooming onion videos, I have thought, I knew this way of cutting onion and thought only will be used as decoration while presenting a dish.

    I have also done this in my corn kebab  pictures. But making a snack out of it, is new to me. All the recipes are with egg based batter. I tried making it eggless and turned out really yummy.

    Batter coated onion, deep fried cannot go wrong! You can take it as fancy version of our onion bajji. I made this eggless blooming onion recipe for Aval kitchen 3rd Anniversary special edition.

    Top tip

    • Coating the onion in dry flour helps the batter stick to the onion intact while and after frying.
    • Milk and baking powder are must as this is an egg free recipe.
    • Do not cut the onion way too down. Otherwise petals may drop and won't hold it's shape.

    Notes

    • Large white onion or yellow onions works best than red onions. Because white/ yellow onions have thick and separate petals.
    • Make sure to cook well in medium flame, you can flip and turn to cook too. Otherwise middle of the onion will not get cooked.
