Drain well and set aside to cool.In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled broccoli, corn, onion, garlic, and parsley.In a separate bowl, sift together the besan flour, all-purpose flour, and baking powder. Add the turmeric, vegeta, and yeast flakes, then mix well.Mix egg replacer with a little water then add to the vegetables.Next add the dry ingredients to the vegetables and gently fold to combine.Gradually add the chilled water, mixing gently until a thick batter forms (similar to pancake batter). Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes.Heat a non-stick pan over medium to medium-high heat. Add a little oil and swirl to coat the pan. Drop tablespoons of the mixture into the pan and gently flatten with the back of a spoon, make sure not to over crowd the pan.Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.Remove and place on paper towel to absorb excess oil.
