- 1 tspn baking powder
- 1/4 tsp turmeric
- 1 tspn chilli flakes
- 1 tspn coarsely ground cumin

Mix all the dry ingredients together
Add in the coriander, chilli and onion
Add a little water at a time until your batter is a dropping consistency. Add more water if required
Deep Fry in hot oil on a medium temperature until golden brown. Do not let it brown too quickly or the insides won't be cooked
- I was confident that a 100ml water worked for me so I added it before adding my onion and herbs. You can add it after depending on how thick you require your batter
- This makes a small batch but you can double the recipe if you're feeding a family
