Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan) and line a tray with baking paper. Spray the paper well.

  2. 2

    Put the gram flour, cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, chilli flakes, baking powder and salt in a bowl.

  3. 3

    Add the onions and coriander and rub with your fingers so the onion softens and releases juice.

  4. 4

    Pour in the water a little at a time until the mix just holds together as a thick, sticky batter.

  5. 5

    Spoon 12 small mounds onto the tray and spray the tops.

  6. 6

    Bake for 25 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crisp. Serve with mango chutney or a yoghurt dip.
