Instructions

1. 1

   Make the batter: whisk the rice flour with the onion, gram flour, salt and just enough water for a thick, clinging consistency.

2. 2

   Warm the oil till a test droplet sizzles and floats at once; too cool and everything goes greasy.

3. 3

   Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the oil without crowding; they should each have room to swim.

4. 4

   Let them take their colour slowly; deep gold means cooked centres and shattering crust.

5. 5

   Serve hot with chutney and fried green chilies, dusted with chaat masala if you're feeling street.
