Crispy Chickpea Flour Fritters

1In a mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour (2 cups), chopped onion (1 small), fresh cilantro, (½ cup) cumin powder (½ teaspoon), coriander powder (½ teaspoon), turmeric powder (½ teaspoon), chili powder (½ teaspoon), baking powder (½ teaspoon), and salt (½ teaspoon).

2Gradually add water (1 cup) to the mixture and whisk until a smooth batter is formed. The batter should be thick but pourable.

3Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.

4Using a spoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

5Fry the fritters until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

6Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

7Serve the crispy chickpea flour (2 cups) fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce or chutney.
