# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Cut your onions real thin using a good knife or your mandoline. Set aside for later.
02 -
Toss your chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, cumin, turmeric, salt, water, lime or lemon juice, chili, and parsley into a big bowl. Give it a whisk until it’s thick and easy to pour. Splash in a bit more water if it’s too heavy.
03 -
Throw all your sliced onions right into the batter. Make sure every piece gets dunked and covered with the mix.
04 -
Drop a scoop of coconut oil into a large skillet and heat over medium. Wait for it to get hot.
05 -
With tongs, take about four battered onion scoops and lay them into the hot skillet. Let them sizzle away until both sides are browned up and crispy, should take about 2-4 minutes for each side.
06 -
Finish frying any leftover batter you’ve got. Eat your fritters while they’re still warm, and definitely dip them in something cool like cucumber raita.
