Описание: An easy and delicious recipe that is a great introduction to the simple style of Nepalese cooking.

Ingredients
300g onions
1tsp salt
25ml malt vinegar
2 red chillies, medium hot
150g besan flour
(gram flour)
1tsp turmeric
Pinch cumin seed
Pinch black pepper
10g fresh coriander, chopped
10g spring onions,chopped
1/2 l vegetable oil for deep frying

To make the Pyazis
Peel and finely shred the onions and sprinkle with salt and vinegar. De-seed the chillies and finely shred.

Sieve the besan flour and set aside.Put the rest of the ingredients, including cumin into a bowl and mix well.

Add the besan flour and mix until a soft and thick batter is formed and vegetables are completely coated.

Scoop out the mixture using either a greased tablespoon or by scooping out with your fingers and flatten the batter slightly to form a rough circle and put onto a lightly greased tray.

Heat the oil to a high temperature (170°C) and using a flat spatula or slice, lift the pyazis from the tray and slide gently into the hot oil. Fry until a light golden colour on both sides.

Remove, drain on a piece of kitchen towel and serve hot with
salsa or chutney.
