4 large onions

4 cloves garlic

3/4 cup besan (chick pea flour)

1/2 cup plain flour

  1. Peel and halve the onions and then slice very thinly. Finely chop garlic.
  2. Mix the flours with the remaining ingredients and enough water to make a smooth creamy batter. Add the onion and garlic.
  3. Heat oil, about 2 cm deep, in a wide flat pan. Add tablespoonfuls of the batter and press into patties. Fry on both side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove to a rack covered with absorbent paper to drain.
