Add the black pepper / minced green chiles and the minced ginger to the batter (which should be somewhat similar to whipped egg whites that are not stiff like that for meringue, no 'peaks' required!)", "Heat the waffle iron till its ready. Brush liberally with oil ( go ahead, slather it on, you're getting a deep fried crunchiness with much less). and pour about 2 oz (a coffee scoop amount) of batter on the plates. Close and allow to cook until the steam ceases to escape. Gently open the waffle iron & lift the waffles onto a serving plate.", "Serve Warm with chutneys, aioli, or other relishes of your choice..
