1/2 inch ginger baton (finely chopped) ,
2 to 3 green chili (finely chopped) .
3/4 tsp salt or to taste and mix everything really well.
Batter appears little thick so add some water

finely chopped baby corns,
cabbage or make these pakoras without any veggies.

so that excess oil drains back to the wok.
