Watching the FIFA world cup and looking to spice up your snacks? Here is a great alternate to boring crisps or popcorn.

Ingedients


250g Besan flour (chickpea flour)
50g Self Raising flour
1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon tandoori masala (from specialist spice shops) optional
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
300g chopped, small dice potato
300g chopped finely, onion
3 spring onions, chopped finely
Small handful of baby spinach, chopped finely
1 teaspoon green chilli, finely chopped
Small handful of coriander, finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt

Peanut or Sunflower Oil for deep frying

Method

Sift both flours into a bowl, add garam masala and tandoori masala (if using), stir well to combine.

Add lemon juice and enough water to form a smooth batter that is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Set aside for 10 - 15 minutes.

Add all the remaining ingredients apart from the oil.

Stir to combine.

Heat oil in a saucepan.

Place spoonfuls of mixture into the hot oil, do not overcrowd.

Once cooked drain on absorbent kitchen paper.

Serve with our lime pickle or yogurt sauce.
