GWARMARI

Ingredients:

1/2 kg Flour (Atta)

1/2 tbsp Baking powder

1/2 tsp Turmeric power

1 tsp Cumin powder

1 tsp Coriander powder

1 tsp Ginger and Garlic paste

Salt to taste

Sunflower Oil (for deep-frying)

Procedure:

Mix flour, baking powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, ginger-garlic paste and salt in a bowl. Stir the mixture properly and then add water to it, little by little stirring it continuously to make a thick paste. The batter should be thick enough to drop down in the oil as a dollop. Cover the bowl and leave it overnight for better results. However, you can also make it instantly.

Heat oil for deep frying. The oil should not be very hot otherwise the mixture will get instantly burnt from outside without the interior getting cooked. It should be on medium heat. Now take a tablespoon of the batter and put it in the oil, just like pakoras. You can cook several of them at a time. The batter should slowly fluff up. Fry until it gets a good brown colour. Take out the now prepared Gwarmaris and soak the oil in a paper. Serve hot with tea.

On a personal note, I believe this is one of the easiest recipe I have come across till now which can be cooked at any time as the ingredients are almost readily available at homes. On a cold rainy evening serve it with hot tea to your loved ones.
