Method:

1. Sift the flours into a large bowl. Add the coriander, chili, garam masala, cumin, curry powder and garlic. Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture. Gradually add the water, beating well to form a smooth batter.

2. Add the corn, potato, zucchini, carrot and cauliflower to the batter. Mix well and season to taste.

3. Heat 1-2 cm oil in a frying pan. Add tablespoons of the mixture to the oil and cook in batches for 2-3 minutes each side or until golden and puffed. Drain well on paper towels. Serve with chili sauce, if desired.

Note: Besan flour (chickpea flour) is available in health food stores. If you cannot find it use all self raising flour.
