Step 1
Cut the top of the onion and peel off the outer skin. Carefully cut the onion into 12-16 sections, being cautious not to cut all the way through the base.

Dip the onion into the milk mixture, making sure it is fully coated. Then, dredge the onion in the flour mixture, making sure to coat all the petals. Repeat this process to ensure a thick coating.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 180°C (350°F).
Step 6
Carefully place the coated onion into the hot oil and fry for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
