desperanceOkay, this is what I've done:
Mix together 100g besan/chickpea/gram flour (all the same thing) with half a teaspoon each of chilli powder, turmeric, ground cumin, salt and baking powder. Halve and thinly slice a couple of onions; finely slice a couple of green chillis; add those to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
Heat oil for deep-frying (I do this in a wok).
When it's good and hot, mould a spoonful of the mixture into a ball, drop it into the oil and fry until crispy and deep gold all over.
Remove and eat, with chutneys. Om-nom-nom.
This is quite a hot version; you might want to halve the chilli ingredients for milder palates.
I did one as a tester, and it's really nice. The rest must wait for the movie; I must carry on shifting books and so forth. If nothing else, at least these books will go back cleaner; there will be less dust, less cat-hair, less compost left over from when I used to grow chillies in that window. That's all good, right...?
