Vegetable Pakora

This makes for great snack food, and perfect for appetizers to any party. Zucchinis, broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes, even bananas make this a scrumptious snack.

Ingredients:

1 c. chickpea flour
1/4 c. rice flour
1 t. salt
1 1/2 T chili powder
1 1/2 T.  ground coriander
3/4 c. water
potatoes sliced thin and cut into bite-sized chunks
chopped veggies (zucchini, cauliflower,  or bananas)
vegetable oil for frying

1. Mix all ingredients together until you have the consistency of crepe batter. Add more water as needed. Mix until all lumps are gone and batter is smooth.

2. Chop whatever vegetables you are using, and put salt and paprika on them.

3. Fill a wok or deep fryer with vegetable oil and heat up on high heat. When you put a drop of batter in the hot oil and the batter comes right up, it is at the right temperature. Reduce the heat to medium.

4. When the batter-covered vegetables rise back up to the surface of the oil and are golden brown, you can remove them and place onto a paper towel to soak up excess oil.
