Sieve all three flours together in a large bowl.
Crush ginger, garlic, chillies in a small mixie till fine.
Add to flour mixture, add salt.
Add some saved water at a time to form a batter.
Batter should coat the back of a spoon, but not too thickly.
Heat oil in frying pan, when hot, add 1 tbsp. hot oil to batter.
When oil is hot enough, dip a corn half fully in batter.
Transfer quickly into hot oil, repeating for other halves too.
Deepfry on medium heat, till light golden, flipping when necessary.
Drain, place for a minute on absorbent clean paper.
