Mushtaq's Zucchini Pakora

Ingredients:
  1 large zucchini, cut into thin slices. Or eggplant. Or potatoes. Or sweet potatoes. Whatever veggie.
  2 ounces of besan (chickpea flour. Bloom Naturally sells it.)
  1 ounce white flour
  1/3 tsp ground cumin
  1/2 tsp tumeric
  1/2 tsp coriander powder
  1 tsp garlic powder
  1 tsp onion powder
  1 pinch chili powder
  Vegetable oil to fry
  Salt to taste.

Mix all ingredients together, add water to make a dipping batter.

Heat oil enough to fry in a flat pan.

Dip zucchini, place it on hot oil, and fry as many as you can fit without overcrowding pan. Turn them over once or twice so each side cooks thoroughly and look golden brown.

Take them out and put them on paper towels to soak excess oil.

Full disclosure - I can't get the batter to coat the zucchini properly. But it can be done - I've seen Mushtaq do it. So maybe you'll have better luck.
