2 teaspoons oil, plus more for deep-frying
1 cup gram flour (chickpea)
1 teaspoon cumin seed, lightly crushed
1 teaspoon coriander seed, lightly crushed
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ajwain seed, lightly crushed (optional)
1 cup water, approximately
1 lb mixed vegetables, trimmed and cut into bite-size pieces (such as cauliflower, zucchini, shiitake mushrooms, onion, and/or green beans)
chutney, for serving

1
Pour oil to a depth of 3 to 4 inches into a deep-fryer or a large, heavy saucepan and heat over medium-high heat to 350F.
2
(The oil should come no more than halfway up the sides of the pan.) While the oil is heating, prepare the batter.
3
Combine the flour, 2 tsp oil, cumin, coriander, cayenne, garlic, salt, baking powder, and ajwain (if using) in a medium bowl.
4
While stirring, gradually pour in enough water to make a batter of coating consistency.
5
Working in batches, dip the vegetable pieces into the batter, letting the excess drip back into the bowl, then carefully lower the coated vegetables into the hot oil.
6
Do not crowd the pan.
7
Fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
8
Remove the fritters from the oil with tongs or a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
9
Continue with the remaining vegetables, allowing the oil to reheat between batches as needed.
10
Arrange the fritters on a warmed platter and serve immediately with chutney alongside for dipping.
