Cooking Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

To make the fritters, combine all the ingredients and chill for 20 minutes.

Fry spoonfuls in hot oil, then drain on kitchen paper. Finish in the oven for 15 minutes. Serve with the apricot dipping sauce.

To make the apricot dipping sauce, place all the ingredients in a saucepan, bring to the boil and cook for 10 minutes. Strain to remove the apricots before serving.

Cook's note: if you dry-fry whole cumin and coriander before grinding them in a mill, they will have more depth of flavour. Here are some tips on making your own garam masala.
