SPICY CORN PAKORAS WITH MANGO-TAMARIND CHUTNEY
Crisp and deeply seasoned, pakoras are Indian fritters that can be made from almost any vegetable. To emphasize the corn flavor here, fine cornmeal joins the more traditional chickpea flour - along with fresh corn. A ridiculously flavorful chutney, which is sweet, hot and a little sour, accompanies the dish. But a jarred version from the supermarket would certainly work in a pinch.

Steps:
- In a mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, all-purpose flour, cornmeal, salt, baking powder and turmeric.
- In a food processor, grind corn kernels to a rough purée. Add purée to flour mixture and stir well to make a stiff batter.
- Put ghee in a small pan over medium-high heat. Add cumin, fennel and mustard seeds. When seeds are lightly toasted and begin to pop, pour mixture into the batter. Add chile, scallions, cilantro and ginger, and stir well. (Batter may be prepared several hours in advance.)
- Pour vegetable oil into a cast-iron skillet to a depth of 1 inch. Heat on medium-high until oil looks wavy. Using two large soup spoons, carefully slip morsels of batter into the oil, working in batches if necessary. Adjust the heat so pakoras brown gently on one side, about 2 minutes. Turn pakoras and brown on other side, about 2 minutes more. Remove with a slotted spoon or spatula and blot on paper towels. Serve hot with lime wedges and mango-tamarind chutney, or another chutney if desired.

[email protected]These pakoras were delicious, but they were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I might have used too much oil when frying them. The chutney was also very good.

[email protected]These pakoras were not as crispy as I would have liked. I think I might have overcooked them. The chutney was also a bit runny. I think I might have added too much water.

[email protected]These corn pakoras were a hit at my party! The batter was easy to make and the pakoras fried up crispy and golden brown. The mango tamarind chutney was the perfect dipping sauce - tangy, sweet, and a little spicy. Will definitely be making these agai
