      Title: Crispy Vegetable Pakoras
 Categories: Asian, Vegetables, Chilies
      Yield: 6 Servings

      1 c  Chickpea flour
    1/2 ts Ground coriander
      1 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Ground turmeric
    1/2 ts Ground chile powder; or more
    1/2 ts Garam masala
      2 cl Garlic; crushed
    3/4 c  Water
      1 qt Oil; for deep frying
    1/2 lg Head cauliflower; in florets
      2 lg Onions; sliced in rings

  Sift the chickpea flour into a medium bowl. Mix in the coriander,
  salt, turmeric, chile powder, garam masala, and garlic.

  Make a well in the center of the flower. Gradually pour the water
  into the well and mix to form a thick, smooth batter.

  Over medium high heat in a large, heavy saucepan, heat the oil to
  375°F/190°C.

  Coat the cauliflower and onions in the batter and fry them in small
  batches until golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Drain on paper
  towels before serving.

  Notes:

  I have seen the cauliflower sliced 1/4" (6 mm) thick. I have also
  had broccoli in flowerettes as well as sliced. Some places also do
  (shudder) okra in an otherwise very edible dish. --UDD
