ingredients
- 175 g gram flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin seed
- 1 teaspoon chili powder

directions
- Place the gram flour, salt, baking powder, cumin and chilli in a bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the water, mixing well to for a smooth batter.
- Add the garlic and onion to the batter and mix inches Leave the mixture to stand for ten mins while you wipe and trim your mushrooms.
- mix the mushrooms into the batter and stir to coat.
