Ingredients




200 ml water
1 egg
100 grams plain flour
50 grams cornflour
1/2 teaspoon salt
450 grams assorted vegetables broccoli and groundnut oil for deep frying
lemon wedges to serve

Preparation

1 Chill the water and the egg. 2 Whisk together all the batter ingredients just before dipping the food. 3 The batter should only just be amalgamated so that a few small lumps of flour are still apparent. 4 Get a pan of oil hot. 5 If you are organised enough to have a kitchen thermometer the oil should register about 190 degrees C/375 degrees F. 6 Dip the vegetables into the batter then into the hot oil. 7 Cook them until golden turning from Ume to time with a fork. 8 They will probably bob back up again but keep trying. 9 Cook them for a couple of minutes on each side. 10 Drain on kitchen paper and eat straight away with the lemon wedges. 11 Serves 2
