Tempura - Way to make vegetables dirty

If you thought that vegetables are the healthiest food choice you can make, we tell you: not if you dunk them in the batter and then deep fry them in lots of oil, you don't!

To cover 2 carrots, 2 celery sticks, 6-7 baby corns and 1 bell pepper:
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar

1) Mix with cup of water thoroughly and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.

2) Carrots and baby corn will need to be boiled first for about 10 minutes. Cool them off by running cold water over them in a colander, shake off excess water, then tip all the veggies into your batter, coating them evenly.

3) Deep-fry in batches. It only takes few mere minutes per batch.

Don't forget your dipping sauces. And how about adding herbs or/and spices to the batter ;)
