BATTER FRIED SAUSAGES

I had eaten this snack at the Farmers Market in US. Here I have made some changes to make the snack a bit spicy and given it an Indian touch by sprinkling garam masala and red chilli powder.. Instead of using the normal big sausages that they used, I tried out with the mini chicken sausages. It turned out quite good. vegetarians can try this with paneer fingers.

Ingredients:

Cocktail Chicken Sausages ... 10-12

Corn / makki ka ata ... 4-5 tbsp

Maida/white flour ...... 2 tbsp

Salt ............... to taste

Baking powder ..... 1/4 tsp

Red chilli powder ..... 1/8 tsp

Garam masala .......... 1/4 tsp

Oil

Method:

1. In a frying pan pour 1 tsp oil and saute the chicken sausages lightly for half a minute. Sprinkle garam masala and red chilli powder.

2. Mix the two flours adding a little salt and baking powder. Mix with water to make a thick batter.

3. Heat oil in a deep pan. Using a tooth pick, dip each sausage in the batter and deep fry them to golden colour.

4. Serve hot with any sauce of your choice.
