1 ½ tbs chili powder

½ tbs cumin powder

½ tsp cayenne powder

Instructions
Step 1
Using a food processor, mix the mung beans and garlic together first for 1 minute on low/dough mode. You should see and feel a coarse, loose mixture. Empty the mixture into a bowl.
Step 2
Add the fresh scallion and spices, cornmeal and flour.
Step 3
Consistently stir the mix while slowly adding water to form a semi-thick batter (it should stretch, but not be too runny/liquid). Set aside for 15 minutes before frying.
Step 4
Prepare your frying pan, heat oil on a medium flame and fry your fritters.
Serve with a side of your favourite sauce.
