In a small bowl sift together the rice or chickpea flour with baking powder and pinch of salt.

Mix the dry ingredients with the remaining ingredients in the larger bowl a little at a time to form a thick batter.

Let the mixture stand for about 30 minutes in a warm place with a dump cloth over the bowl.

Heat the oil in a wok or small frying pan over medium to high heat.

Into the wok or pan drop tablespoons of the mixture and fry off a few at a time for a about 1 minute and turn when brown.

Place cooked fritters on kitchen towel to absorb excess oil.
