Prep 21 min Cook 18 min Serves 3 Medium

Ingredients

Ginger Garlic Paste1 tsp
Saltto taste
Onion2, finely sliced
Green Chili2, finely chopped
Turmeric Powder1/2 tsp
Vegetable Oilfor deep frying
Curry Leaves2 sprigs
Asafoetidaa pinch
Gram Flour1 cup
Ajwain1/2 tsp
Peanut Oil1 cup, chopped
Rice Flour2 tbsp
Semolina (Rava)1 cup

Instructions

1
Make the batter: whisk the semolina (rava) with the onion, gram flour, salt and just enough water for a thick, clinging consistency.
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
Fry till deep gold, flipping once, then lift out and drain on a rack — paper towels steam the bottoms soft.
5
Serve hot with chutney and fried green chilies, dusted with chaat masala if you're feeling street.

Chef's tip

A spoon of hot oil in the batter makes fritters fry up lighter.
