  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 15 cl soya milk
  • 5 cl water (or spinach water or soya milk)
  • 1 tablespoon oil (I use rapeseed but vegetable or sunflower works well too)

  1. Put flour, dry spices and baking powder in a bowl.

  3. Finely chop the onion, garlic, ginger and chili.
  4. Fry onion and garlic until soft.
