I could have these appetizers as a meal, if you want you can also add a finely chopped green chili to the batter. Gram flour is also known as besan and chickpea flour.

10 -12 fritters (change servings and units)

Ingredients

5 tablespoons gram flour
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1/4 teaspoon chili pepper
1 tablespoon very finely chopped fresh coriander
salt
1 large onion, thinly sliced and chopped
oil, for deep-frying

Directions

1
Mix the flour with the spices, add some water until the mixture is gluey.
2
Mix the onion into this paste, it should hold together, if necessary add more flour.
3
Heat the oil to medium heat and drop golf ball size blobs into the fat.
4
Cook for about 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown, drain on kitchen paper, serve warm with a yogurt- mint raita.

These were really great! I used regular flour, since gram flour isn't readily available here and they turned out fine. Thanks for posting this! I'll be using the recipe again when my hubby gets homesick and wants Indian food.

These are delicious! We had them with a mango chutney and they were quickly devoured. I used a griddle in an effort to reduce the fat and it worked pretty well though the patties were harder to keep togther than when fried.

i think this used 1/4 c cold water and then a few spoonfuls more. i mixed it with 1/2 chopped fine onion, and that was plenty. this cooked up really fast and i got 9 out of my heavy handed batch- used a greased soup spoon to drop the batter into the pan, worked really well. i served them with mango chutney and tahini sauce, my dd#3 said this was like spicy falaffel, funny

Hubby and I loved them. I served them with a spicy yoghurt dipping sauce. I'll definitely make these again.
