"These savory Indian fritters use soft, gluten-free chickpea flour (also known as besan or gram flour) to form a light, flavorful batter. They can be made with a variety of vegetables, but I like the cauliflower-onion combination best of all. If you've only got ground spices, they'll work fine as well, but the whole seeds add a delightful crunch...."
