| 1. Sift together in a large bowl the flour, salt, chili powder, baking powder, cumin, ajwain (or oregano). | 2. Add the water and beat to form a smooth batter. | 3. Add the chopped onion, potato and cauliflower to the mixture and gently toss to coat. | 4. Heat the oil in a large pan to 350-375°F/180-190°C, or until a cube of bread browns in 30 sec. | 5. Using a slotted spoon or a "spider", lower a scoop (2-3 tablespoons) of the battered vegetables into the hot oil a few at a time and deep-fry, flipping over once. Depending on how hot your oil is, you want to give it about 2 minutes per side, but watch that they don't burn. The end result should be crispy on the outside and medium-soft to crispy inside. | 6. Remove with the slotted spoon and drain thoroughly on paper towels. | 7. Beat yogurt and gram flour until smooth. | 8. Heat the oil in pan. | 9. Add mustard seeds, turmeric, chili powder and fenugreek seeds. | 10. Add yogurt mixture, bring just to a gentle boil and simmer for about 10 minutes. Keep stirring to prevent lumps. | 11. Add pakoras and simmer for about 5 minutes. | 12. Serve hot over basmati rice. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
