  2. Add the flour to a bowl and slowly whisk in the water to create a smooth batter, then add the relish/sauce.
  3. Test the heat of the oil by dropping a drop of batter into the oil, when the batter expands and crisps on contact, the oil is ready.
  4. Dredge the stems in a little flour, then dip into the batter and lightly coat. Drop into the oil and fry until golden brown.
  5. Remove the cooked stems from the pan onto a plate with some kitchen paper on top and season with salt. Serve immediately with the dip of your choice.
