(Gluten Free) Scallion Pancakes

Scallion pancakes are a staple of Chinese restaurant menus. I think they're popular because they're fried, shareable, crispy, dippable, and sound healthy. I took a crack at making a gluten free version that isn't that bad for you with a mix of rice flour and chickpea flour.

Apple Pakora

A friend said about pakoras "I get it, its another name for a fritter".  That is exactly correct. Its anything you want, battered and fried. Onions, potatoes, cauliflower, chicken, eggs, bread, sandwiches - whatever you want. What makes it a pakora is that the batter is made from besan (chickpea flour).

These are apple pakoras, which I never saw in India. They do have apples, and like a state fair, there's nothing they won't cover with batter and drop in oil, so I'm sure these get made somewhere.  At home, they're fast and easy to make.
