  1. For the dipping sauce: mix together all of the dipping sauce ingredients, adding a splash of water if the mixture is too thick. Spoon into dipping bowls to serve.

  2. For the pakora: mix the chickpea flour with the ground cumin, 1/2 tsp salt, turmeric, garam masala, chilli powder and baking powder. Whisk in enough of the cold water to make a smooth batter with the consistency of double cream.

  3. Half-fill a deep, heavy-based pan with vegetable oil and heat to 180C/350F, or until a cube of bread dropped in sizzles and turns golden-brown in 30 seconds (CAUTION: hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended).

  4. Dip the vegetables and onion wedges in the batter and fry, in small batches, until golden-brown and crisp (about 4-5 minutes). Remove and drain on kitchen paper.

  5. Serve the pakora hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
