Cheesy Salsa Dip

Serve hot with wheat thins crackers or red and green pepper strips or nacho chips

Veggie Pakoras
This are Indian (as in India) chickpea fritters
They are fried in oil, so they're not low-fat, but they are tasty.
1Cup chickpea flour(bulk barn)
1Cup shredded cabbage
1Cup shredded onion(be prepared for lots of tears
1Tbsp curry powder
3Tbsp water, more if needed
Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Add more water as neccesary until you have a thick, chunky, gooey batter. Spoon into a pan of hot oil and turn after 45sec to 1min. Fry for another minute on the other side. Remove pakoras from oil and blot on paper towels. Serve hot.
Suggestion dipping sauces: sweet chili sauce(aka sweet pepper jelly), chutney, or plum sauce.
I made these at my housewarming party, and everybody loved them.
