  Cut the onions into 3/8" slices. In a nonreactive dish,
  soak the onions in the buttermilk for 30 to 60 minutes.
  In a brown-paper sack, combine the flour, salt, and
  chilli spice. Drain the onions and dredge them in the
  seasoned flour.
  
  Pour at least 4" of oil into a deep, heavy saucepan.
  Heat the oil to 375°F/190°C. Fry the onions in batches,
  about 2 to 3 minutes or until golden. Drain the onions
  on paper towels, sprinkle with salt.
  
  Serve immediately.
