Garlic Tomato Sooji Fritters

1.In a mixing bowl, combine the semolina, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped tomato, red chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin seeds, baking powder, and salt.

2.Gradually add water to the mixture, stirring continuously until you achieve a thick batter consistency. Let the batter rest for about 15-20 minutes to allow the semolina to absorb the water.

3.Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.

4.Once the oil is ready, take small portions of the batter and carefully drop them into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

5.Fry the fritters until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.

6.Serve the hot fritters with a side of tangy ketchup dip.
