Cooking with Shail

Hello all!! Today’s recipe is yet another finger food you can have it as a starter, side dish or for any party. Onion rings are becoming very famous now as finger food. Normally the recipes separate the onion rings and stuff two of them and fry. I have stuffed all the rings internally and deep fried them. It is basically like fritters and you can have them with tea or coffee. These stuffed rings taste delicious and yummy. They are easy to make and can be made at any time for guests. The dip I have served with these rings is made using my homemade mayonnaise. For my homemade mayonnaise recipe click on the link below. So lets get cooking….
