  • 5ml/1 tsp garam masala

  • 5ml/1tsp ground roasted cumin

  • 1 small green chili, chopped

  • 100g/4 oz cauliflower, cut into small florets

Method:

  1. Place the gram flour in a bowl then mix in the yoghurt to make a smooth, runny batter. Mix in the ground spices and salt, cover and leave in a warm place for 4-5 hours.

  2. Mix the coriander, lemon juice, chili and cauliflower into the batter. Heat the oil and whisk the batter a little more. Gently slip spoonfuls of the batter into the oil to form a round shape.
