pepper fritters

We indians have this all time love for pakodas since ages.I believe pakodas are the only snack item which one can think of  during a rainy evening or cold weather.When i was a kid whenever an unexpected guest comes home,pakodas were the rescue snack made in jiffy.I never get bored of the variations in making these fritters.The best part is it can be made with any veggie you have in your fridge.Best accompanied with a hot piping cup of tea,it makes your tired mind and body  a new headstart.And its such an easy recipe that for a potluck you can always opt for it to make in large quantity.




Ingredients:

1.Gram flour/besan-1cup
2.Ajwain seeds-take a pinch
3.Cumin seeds-1/4 tsp
4.Salt-to taste
5.Red chilli powder-1/2  tsp
6.Turmeric-1/4 tsp
7.Black pepper powder-a pinch
8.Water
9.Green bell pepper-1 or more for quantity
10.cut any other veggies you have in hand(onions,cauliflower,potato)



Method:

1.Take besan in a bowl,add ajwain,cumin seeds,turmeric,salt,red chilli powder,pepper powder.Add water and make a batter, consistency not too thick not too thin.
