Ingredients
500g rice flour
125g corn flour
450ml coconut milk
750ml water (This is an estimate. You may need to add more to achieve a fairly runny but not too diluted texture for the batter.)
2 tbsp fennel
2 tbsp cumin
3 tbsp coriander seeds
1 tsp turmeric
2 big eggs
2 tsp salt
500g peanuts
Some curry leaves cut small
Vegetable oil for frying

**Blend the following:
9 garlic cloves
5 candlenuts

Method
1.Coarsely pound the fennel, cumin and coriander seeds.
2.Set aside.
3.In a large bowl, place the flour, egg, salt, fennel, cumin, coriander seeds, turmeric and the blended ingredients.
4.Add in the coconut cream and water.
5.Stir until well-mixed. Aim for a texture that is runny yet not overly thin.
6.Heat a wok over medium-low heat with oil to the depth of at least 7.5cm.
7.Fill a ladle with the batter and add in some peanuts.
8.You can vary the quantity of peanuts according to your preference.
