Introduction

Forgive the title, but spelling hindi words in the Roman alphabet leaves a lot of room for variation and I wanted to make it easy to search for. Very easy, made in a jiffy (whatever one of those is)

Ingredients

Serves: 4-6

For the Batter

2 cups gram flour (ground chick peas)
1 tablespoon fenugreek leaves (or coriander)
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon chili powder (easier to distribute evenly than chopped chillies)
1 teaspoon garam masala (a good teaspoon)
1 tablespoon oil
water (to form a thick, clinging batter)

For the Vegetables

slices onions
slices potatoes (raw, leave skins on if you like)
cauliflowers (florets)
broccoli (florets)
slices paneer
slices eggplants
snow peas
baby sweetcorn
any vegetables (whatever you fancy really but nothing too watery like tomato I should imagine)

Simply mix the batter in a large bowl, throw in the vegetables and stir to give all the pieces of vegetable a good coating.

Deep fry in batches until golden brown.

Drain on kitchen paper and serve with ketchup/chutney.... A very nice picnic food by the way.
