Ingredients:

Before getting started, make sure you have the following ingredients:

  • 1 cup of gram flour
  • 2 chopped green chillies
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/4 cup of water
  • Oil for frying

Instructions:

Now that you have everything you need, let's get started with the recipe:

Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, add the gram flour, turmeric powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.

Step 2: Add the Chopped Chillies and Onion

Add the chopped green chillies and onion to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix everything together so that the vegetables are evenly distributed in the batter.

Step 3: Add Water

Gradually add water to the bowl while stirring. Mix until the batter has a smooth consistency. The batter should be thick enough to hold its shape, but not so thick that it's difficult to spoon out.

Step 4: Heat the Oil

Pour oil into a deep pan and heat it over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot enough before you start frying the Chilli Bites. You can test the oil's temperature using a little bit of the batter. If it sizzles and rises to the top, that means the oil is hot enough.

Step 5: Start Frying

Using a spoon, scoop out small portions of the batter and carefully drop them into the hot oil. Fry for a few minutes, turning the Chilli Bites over once or twice so that both sides are golden brown.

Step 6: Drain and Serve

Once the Chilli Bites are cooked to perfection, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the pan. Place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve hot with your favourite dip or chutney.

Enjoy your homemade Chilli Bites with family and friends! Remember, adjust the amount of chillies depending on how spicy you like your snacks. Happy cooking!
