Vegetable Pakora's

Two cups of chick pea flour
2 teaspoons of crushed garlic
1 cup freshly chopped spinach
1 cup of freshly chopped onions
1/2 cup of freshly grated carrots
1/2 cup of tinned creamy corn or peas or both
1 level teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup freshly chopped cilantro


Mix all of the above ingredients in a mixing bowl with some water to form a thick paste.
Heat a liter of oil for frying in a deep saucepan at medium heat.
Add 1/2 teaspoon baking powder into the mixture and mix thoroughly
Spoon out mixture with a tablespoon into oil forming small balls. Fry until golden brown turning each fritter to cook all the way inside. Remove fried fritters and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve with tamarind chutney which you can buy ready or make.

Boil a  small block of tamarind with two tablespoons of sugar in some water for an hour or so until soft. (Add more water if necessary.) Strain the thickened paste into a bowl using a strainer and add salt and cayenne pepper to taste.Option - sprinkle a little chopped cilantro.
