CHICKPEA BATTER-FRIED VEGETABLES
I learned this wonderful chickpea batter for fried vegetables from the cookbook author and teacher John Ash, who demonstrated his version of it recently at the 2010 World of Healthy Flavors conference at the Culinary Institute of America in California's Napa Valley. It is based on a popular Indian snack called pakora. I much prefer the nutty, crisp chickpea flour coating to other flour-based batters, and those who cannot tolerate wheat will be very happy with it. You can find chickpea flour in Mediterranean markets and Indian markets.

Steps:
- Sift together the chickpea flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt and cayenne. Whisk in the water. If the batter is stiff, add more water. Allow the batter to rest for 30 minutes.
- Steam the broccoli florets and stems for four minutes until just tender. Refresh with cold water, and pat dry.
- Heat 3 or 4 inches of canola oil in a wok, frying pan or deep fryer to between 360 degrees and 375 degrees. It's important that the oil be hot enough that the vegetables will cook quickly without absorbing much oil. Use a deep-fry thermometer, and make sure to bring the oil back up to temperature between batches. Whisk the batter, which will have separated. Working in batches so that you don't crowd the pan, dip the vegetables in the batter to coat thoroughly, and carefully place in the hot oil. It should take less than two minutes to achieve a golden brown crust. Carefully remove from the oil using a deep-fry skimmer, tongs or a spider, and drain on paper towels, then transfer to a baking sheet. Keep warm in a 200-degree oven while you continue to cook the remaining vegetables. Serve once all the vegetables have been cooked.

FRITTER BATTER
Steps:
- Combine yolks with oil and beer. Gradually stir this into flour (it should be thick enough to stick to the food) and beat until very smooth with a few swift strokes. Rest batter, covered, in refrigerator for 3 hours at least so it ferments a bit. Get oil to right temperature. Beat egg whites until stiff and fold into batter. Dip the onions or mushrooms in the batter and fry.

Steps:
- Combine the red pepper, shallots, garlic, lemon peel and ginger in a large bowl. Squeeze the carrots to remove the excess juice then add to the bowl.
- Place the chickpeas in a food processor and whizz for a few seconds until broken down and crumbly. You don't want a puree so don't blend too far. If you don't have a food processor just crush with chickpeas with the back of a fork.
- Add the chickpeas to the bowl along with the garam masala, cumin and ground coriander.
- Add the egg and mix well then sieve over the flour and mix again.
- Shape into small discs and fry for around 3 minutes a side in a little olive oil.
- When cooked remove and place on kitchen paper to cool.
- To make the tzatziki combine the cucumber, garlic and yoghurt in a bowl. Top the fritters with the chopped coriander.
