Ingredients

2 cups Chickpea flour (aka - Gram flour, Garbanzo flour)1 tsp baking powder1/2 tsp salt1 1/2 tsp garam masala or curry powder1 tsp cumin1/2 tsp turmeric1/2 tsp red pepper (opt.)1 1/2 tsp dried cilantro (3 tbsp fresh)----1/2 head small cauliflower, chopped into bite-size pieces1 medium onion, finely chopped1/3 cup peas (fresh/frozen/canned)1 medium carrot, grated1 small potato, gratedOlive oil, to grease baking sheet

Directions

Preheat oven to 500F.

In a large bowl, mix together dry ingredients (down to the dashes in the ingredient list). Stir in enough water to create a batter, almost pancake-batter consistency, but a little thicker. It took me about 1 1/4 cups of water.

Prepare veggies, and then dump them all into the
batter, mixing to coat well.

Using a spoon, take scoops of battered veggies and drop onto well oiled baking sheet - like when making drop cookies.

Bake for 8 minutes, then flip and bake another 10 minutes, until golden brown.

Serve with 'Raita' or an Indian tomato sauce.

Makes about 50 pakoras; a serving is 5 pakoras.
