Fish Bonda
Rain-day frying at its best: fish bonda — crackling outside, soft within, gone before the chai cools. About 30 minutes from fridge to table.

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 fish 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.

Chef's tip
One test fritter first; adjust salt and thickness before the whole batch.
