- 4 Tbsp Chili Powder (optional, for a spicy kick)
- 2 Tbsp Sugar (adjust sweetness to taste)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the ingredients for our curry. Finely chop or thinly slice the onion, and dice the carrot into small pieces. Heat a little oil in a pan and add the chopped onion and carrot. Sauté them over medium-low heat until they become soft and fragrant. Caramelizing the onions slowly will unlock their natural sweetness and deepen the curry’s flavor.
Step 2
Transfer the sautéed onions and carrots to a blender or food processor. Add 7 Tbsp of curry powder, 100ml of milk, and to your taste, 4 Tbsp of chili powder and 2 Tbsp of sugar. (For an even creamier and sweeter taste, you can add heavy cream or yogurt. If you enjoy Indian flavors, a touch of garam masala would be lovely!) Blend everything until smooth. Pour the blended mixture into a pot and simmer over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Your delicious onion curry is now ready!
Step 3
Now, let’s make those crispy onion rings! Peel and slice the onion into rings. (Tip: If you find raw onions too pungent, soak the rings in cold water for about 5 minutes before proceeding.) Lightly season the onion rings with a sprinkle of curry powder and chili powder. Next, coat the rings evenly with tempura flour or breadcrumbs, ensuring a good layer for crispiness.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg and 1 Tbsp of milk to create an egg wash. Dip the flour-coated onion rings into the egg wash, making sure they are fully covered. Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Carefully place the egg-washed onion rings into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy. Flipping them occasionally will ensure even cooking.
Step 5
Once golden and crispy, remove the fried onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While they are delicious immediately, letting them cool slightly will enhance their crispiness. Your homemade onion curry and crispy onion rings are now complete! Arrange them beautifully on a plate for a visually appealing and incredibly tasty meal.
Step 6
Let’s whip up a special sauce to complement the onion rings! In a small bowl, combine 2 Tbsp of mayonnaise and 1 Tbsp of sugar (a 2:1 ratio). Stir well until smooth. Finish with a light dusting of fine chili powder on top for a beautiful presentation. This sweet and creamy sauce pairs wonderfully with the crispy onion rings, offering a delightful flavor reminiscent of sweet shrimp sauce.
