Vegetable Pakoras

Ingredients

1 lb. mixed vegetables (potatoes, onions, eggplants, cauliflower)
4 oz. besan
1 t. salt
½ t. chili powder
Pinch baking soda
¾ t. ajwain
1 t. mango powder
¼ c. – ½ c. of water
vegetable oil for deep-frying

Method of preparation

Peel and slice potatoes, onions and eggplants into 1/3 inch thick round slices. Soak the potato and eggplant slices in water until ready to use. Cut cauliflower into small florets. Mix besan, salt, chili powder, baking soda, ajwain, mango powder and water and beat into a smooth batter of a thick, coating consistency.
Heat the oil in a deep fat fryer or work. When the oil is very hot, reduce heat to medium. Dip a few slices of the vegetables into the batter to coat them completely, and then deep-fry them, turning them once. Cook evenly until they are golden-brown or both sides. Remove oil and drain on paper towels. Serve with mint or sweet chutney.
