Method
Mint Chutney
Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth, season to taste.
Pakora
Combine the flours, spices, herbs, lemon juice and water to form a batter.
Add the cabbage, chopped chillies and onion, and mix to combine.
Pakora can be shallow or deep-fried, so either heat the oil in a heavy-based frying pan or use a deep-fryer.
Drop tablespoons of the batter into the heated oil and fry until golden brown.
Remove from the pan and drain on a piece of kitchen towel.
Serve the pakora with mint chutney.
