Besan fritters
(adapted slightly from a recipe on Manifest Vegan)

ane 1/4 cups besan (chickpea flour)
1/2 teaspoon dark pepper
ane teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon chilli powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
ii cups H2O + 1/4 loving cup extra water
a few tablespoons vegetable oil

Line a 22cm foursquare cake flame alongside paper.

In a medium-large saucepan, stir together the besan, pepper, garlic, chilli together with salt. Whisk inward 1/2 loving cup of the H2O to brand a smoothen paste, together with then closed to other one-half loving cup of H2O until the batter is smoothen again. Whisk inward the side yesteryear side loving cup of H2O together with when it's smooth, prepare the saucepan over steady well-diffused medium heat. Stir the mixture continuously alongside a whisk or wooden spoon every bit it thickens. Allyson suggests cooking the batter for most fifteen minutes, but I institute that mine was thick together with sticky yesteryear the x infinitesimal score - I added a farther 1/4 loving cup of H2O together with couldn't force it much farther for fearfulness of the mixture completely drying out.

Pour the batter into the cake flame together with allow it spread out into an fifty-fifty layer; mine needed a fighting of coaxing. Chill the besan while for at to the lowest degree three hours (I stored mine overnight).

Pour crude oil inward a frypan to encompass the base of operations together with prepare it over medium-high heat. Retrieve the besan mixture from the refrigerator together with while it into wedges. Fry the wedges inward the crude oil for most three minutes on each side, until they prepare a golden crust. You may require to produce this inward batches and/or peak upwards the crude oil every bit yous go.

Serve the wedges warm alongside your favourite condiment.
