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
Peanut Oil1 cup, chopped
Rice Flour2 tbsp

Instructions

1
Mix the urad dal into a seasoned batter with the green chili, resting it ten minutes so the flours hydrate.
2
Get the oil shimmering but not smoking; steady medium-high is the fritter zone.
3
Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the oil without crowding; they should each have room to swim.
4
Cook three to four minutes a side until the sizzle quietens, then drain on a wire rack.
5
Serve hot with chutney and fried green chilies, dusted with chaat masala if you're feeling street.

Chef's tip

If the masala sticks, add water a tablespoon at a time rather than drowning the dish.
