Mix flour and dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Add ¾ cup water and stir to combine. Gradually add more water until mixture is thick enough to coat a finger. Stir in peanut oil. The batter may be made up to 2 hours in advance. To make fritters, heat oil in a large saucepan to deep-fry temperature (350 degrees). Dip vegetables, one at a time into the batter and fry until deep brown, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with Mint and Cilantro Chutney, Yogurt Sauce, and soy sauce for dipping. This recipe yields 6 servings.
