Ingredients
- 1 onion, diced

- 2 tablespoons ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until everything is fully combined and a dough forms.

Roll the dough into small balls about 1 inch in diameter.
- 4
In a heavy bottomed pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until a small piece of dough sizzles and floats when dropped into the oil.

Gently lower the dough balls into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, flipping once about halfway through the cooking time.

Transfer the fried fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Chef's Tip
To elevate the dish, you can try adding a pinch of suya spice to the dough when mixing it together.
