Try this spicy, nourishing snack with a beautiful green salad or fresh steamed vegetables.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 large onion, finely sliced
  • 1/2 medium-sized head cauliflower, divided into tiny florets
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1/4 cup chopped coriander leaves
  • 1 green chilli, seeds removed and finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp chilli powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala
  • 1 cup chickpea flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • Juice from ½ a lemon
  • 1 egg, whisked
  • Water, to mix
  • Coconut oil for shallow frying

METHOD

  1. Combine all ingredients aside from the lemon juice and egg in a bowl.  Make a well in the centre and pour in the lemon, egg and enough cold water to make a thick batter.
  2. Pour coconut oil to a depth of 1-2 cm in a deep-sided frying pan and heat until a small drop of batter immediately sizzles and quickly colours.  Drop large spoonfuls of mixture into the oil and cook in batches, turning as required until golden and crisp.
  3. Drain on paper towels, sprinkle with a little sea salt and serve hot with your favourite chutney.
