Ingredients:

1 large potato, peeled and sliced

1 large onion, sliced
For the batter
200g chickpea flour (besan)
1¼ teaspoons salt
1 – 1½ teaspoons chilli powder
½ teaspoon baking powder
water
Oil, for frying

Method:

Combine all batter ingredients in a bowl. Mix well, adding a little water as needed to make a very thick batter.
