Directions
- Make the tomato jam: Combine all ingredients in a medium skillet over medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 40 to 45 minutes. Set aside to cool. Makes about 1 ½ cups|355 ml.
- To make the batter, mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl.
- Heat 3-inches oil in a large saucepan until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 350°F. Working in batches, coat the vegetables all over in the batter, then dip in the oil. Fry, turning as needed, until golden and crisp, 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a baking sheet fitted with a cooling rack. Season with salt and repeat with the remaining vegetables. Transfer to a bowl and serve with the tomato jam.
