Preparation

Step 1

In a blender combine all ingredients except apples and oil to fry.
Blend into a thick pasty puree/batter( adjust water and chickpea flour to get the thick consistency, water needed will depend on the flours used). For a simpler batter, just mix chickpea flour, 1/2 tsp garam masala powder, salt and pepper!.
Drop apple slices into the batter and mix well to coat.
Fry in medium-high hot oil for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally till the batter becomes darker than its color, slightly brown.
Serve hot with ketchup or cilantro Chutney! Top with Chaat masala or rock salt and some red chili powder for added fun!
