Monsoon's official partner — whatever vegetables you have, cloaked in spiced besan and fried to a golden crunch.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings: 3 servings

Ingredients
  

besan (gram flour)
rice flour
mixed vegetables (onion slices, potato, brinjal, paneer)
red chilli powder
ajwain
baking soda
Salt to taste
Water to make batter
Oil for frying

Method
 

  1. Whisk besan, rice flour, spices, soda, salt, and water into a thick, smooth batter.
  2. Heat oil to medium-hot — test with a drop of batter (it should rise quickly).
  3. Coat each vegetable slice and slide into the oil.
  4. Fry in batches until deep golden, flipping once.
  5. Serve immediately with green chutney and fried chillies.

Notes

Rice flour is the crunch secret — up to a third of the besan, no more.
