Spelt is an Excellent pakora batter additive. This recipe suits half a large-medium cauliflower, or 1/4 a large one, plus 1/2 cup extra-firm tofu cut into stips= equals protein. Offer to Srila Prabhupada with the tamarind chutney, water, salt, flower, and rice. Brahmanas may also offer through succession, to Radha Krishna; don't forget the Tulsi leaves!
