2.5 ml turmeric
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper

Peel and slice onion or fish to desired width, separate layers if you use onions.
Place oil in a heavy bottomed pan, about 2 inches deep. Heat to a temperature of 180 ºC.
Dip onion rings/ fish, one at a time in batter then carefully place in hot oil. Fry for about 1 minute then flip over and fry for another minute, until golden on both sides. Remove from oil and let drain on paper towels before serving.
