Ingredients

Ginger Garlic Paste1 tsp
Saltto taste
Ginger2-inch piece
Green Chili2
Turmeric Powder1/2 tsp
Vegetable Oilfor deep frying
Urad Dal2 cups, chopped
Asafoetidaa pinch
Gram Flour1 cup
Ajwain1/2 tsp
Rice Flour1 cup

Instructions

1
Combine the urad dal with the rice flour and the flours; add water slowly — the batter should coat a spoon, not run off it.
2
Get the oil shimmering but not smoking; steady medium-high is the fritter zone.
3
Slide the batter in with two spoons — rough, craggy shapes fry crispest.
4
Cook three to four minutes a side until the sizzle quietens, then drain on a wire rack.
5
Pile up, salt lightly, and serve with mint chutney and ketchup within arm's reach.

Chef's tip

Don't crowd the pan; steam is the enemy of the browning that builds flavour.
