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
- 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.
- 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.
- Drain on paper towels, sprinkle with a little sea salt and serve hot with your favourite chutney.
