Crispy Broccoli Fritters

Ingredients

• Broccoli florets - 1 cup
• Rice flour - 1 tbsp
• Wheat flour - 1 cup
• Red chili powder - 1 tsp
• Baking soda - 1 pinch
• Water
• Salt
• Oil

Instructions

1. 1Trim the broccoli and cut into individual florets so they cook evenly.
2. 2In a large bowl, combine the wheat flour, rice flour, red chili powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
3. 3Slowly add water while whisking until the batter becomes thick and smooth, similar to dosa batter; taste and add more red chili powder if you like extra heat.
4. 4Heat oil in a deep frying pan until shimmering, then dip each broccoli floret into the batter to coat it completely.
5. 5Carefully lower the coated florets into the hot oil in batches and deep-fry until the fritters are crisp and golden, turning as needed so they brown evenly.
6. 6Lift the fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
7. 7Serve the fritters hot with tomato sauce and a cup of hot tea as an evening snack (optional).
