Notes
- Be patient while dredging breadcrumbs for second time , as it may be bit clumsy
- Try using tongs , as it helps to double coat onion rings.
- If you don't need more crispier onion rings , single coat also works fine. But make sure to coat well , such that coated breadcrumbs doesn't open while frying in oil.

Don't use red onions for onion rings as in the images...unless you want a really strong onion taste. For more mild onion rings, use yellow or white onions. It does matter which onion you use.
