Total Time 35 minutes Prep Time 20 minutes Cook Time 15 minutes Serves 2

Ingredients

1 Cup Chickpea Flour (Besan)
2 tbsp Green Onion (Chopped)
1/2 Cup Red Onion
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Red Pepper Powder
1/2 tsp Hot Green Pepper (small)
1 tsp Thyme (Or Ajwain)
Canola Oil (For Frying)
1/2 tsp Garlic (paste or minced)

Directions

1. Take flour in a bowl, add scallions, onion, salt, red chili powder, garlic and thyme.
2. Mix water into dry ingredients (little at a time). Repeat adding the water till batter is little thicker than Pancake Batter.
3. Heat oil in a deep frying pan (Or Fryer) . When oil is hot, fry fitters 3-4 at a time. (Check by dropping pinch of batter in oil. It should float to surface at count of 3).

Additional Notes
Never overcrowd your frying pan since that will drop oil temperature and fritters will become oily.
4. Server hot with Chutney of your choice. Perfect for Tea Time Party Or Cocktail Party.
