Ingredients:

Serving

1 large egg
1 tbsp lemon juice
100 g chickpea flour (also called gram flour or besan)
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garam masala
1/2 tsp cumin seed
1 tbsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp ground turmeric
1 fresh hot green chili pepper, de-seeded and finely chopped (optional)
2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander, leaf
vegetable oil (for frying )
200 g onions, peeled and chopped into medium sized diced

Directions:

Break the egg into a bowl and beat well, add 4 tbs water and the lemon juice. Mix, add the flour and mix well with a whisk. Put in the spices, coriander leaf and chilli if using. Mix well and set aside for at least 10 minutes or longer. Mix again with a whisk. The batter should be of a fairly thick, droppable consistency.
Heat the oil in a wok or deep fat fryer over a medium heat. A minimum of 3 inches is required in the centre of a wok. When the oil is ready, put the onions in the batter and mix – this is always best done just before cooking.
Take heaped tsp of the batter and drop into the hot oil. Use all the batter this way. Stir and fry the fritters for 7-8 minutes or until golden. Remove and drain on kitchen paper and serve hot.
