    Dry Masala

    • 4 oz whole cumin seed
    • 8 oz whole coriander seed
    • 4 oz black peppercorn
    • 4 oz fennel seed

    • 16 oz (1 cup) chana flour
    • 16 oz rice flour
    • 2 oz “Dry Masala”
    • 1 oz baking soda
    Soda water added until pancake reaches batter consistency.
     
     
    For the spice roasted gobi pekoras:
    • 1 large cauliflower
    • 2 oz sesame oil
    • 1 oz salt
    • 3 oz “Dry Masala”

    For the spice roasted gobi pekoras:
