Ajwain1/4 tsp
Red Chili Powder1 tsp
Rice Flour2 tbsp

Optional extras

Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp

Instructions

1
Whisk the besan, rice flour and spices with water into a thick, clinging batter — it should coat the back of a spoon.
2
Fold in the green chili so every piece is covered; rest 10 minutes.
3
Drop into medium-hot oil in small clusters and fry until the edges ruffle and turn deep gold.
4
Fry once more on higher heat for 20 seconds if you like them extra crisp.
5
Drain, dust with chaat masala and eat immediately — fritters have no tomorrow.

Chef's tip

Batter thicker than you think — thin batter slides off and clouds the oil.
