Vegetable Pakora

• BATTER
• 1 cup chickpea flour (besan)
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 cup water
• VEGETABLES
• 1 -2 green chili, chopped (jalapeno or your choice depending on heat pref.)
• 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
• 1 potatoes or 1 yam, sliced 1/4 thick
• 1 small cauliflower, broken into very small florets
• 1 cup spinach leaves, torn
• 1 1/2 cups onions, halved and sliced

1. Boil the potato or yam slices until *just* tender, being careful not to overcook.
2. Mix batter ingredients well. Beat in a blender for 4-5 minutes to incorporate air (this will make the batter fluffier). Let batter rest 1/2 hour in a warm place.
3. Add the vegetables and mix in evenly.
4. Deep fry in oil that is heated to 375u0b0 until deep brown (somewhere between 4-6 minutes per batch). Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.
5. Serve with cilantro or mint chutney or cucumber raita.
