Ingredients:
½ lb (2 cups) besan (gram flour, made from chickpeas)
2 Tablespoons diced onions
4 green chillies, sliced fine
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
Salt to taste
2 cups water
Vegetable oil
(Slices of large onion, brinjal, and spinach leaves dipped into this batter and fried makes a pleasant change).
Method:
Mix all ingredients into a thick batter by adding as much water as is necessary. Drop a teaspoonful at a time into hot deep oil. Drain on paper towel and serve hot.
*Gram flour, called “besan” can be obtained along Selegie Road from Indian shops that sell whole wheat flour for chapatis.
