This looks interesting.  Sorry if you've already posted it somewhere Adeypayne, but what is your mix powder made up of?  I know they do vary.

Ahh, so it's a tikki. I never read the recipe when posted and assumed it was a curry.
Watched a few of The Foodie YouTube vids last night. He was with a chef who made a veg tikki covered in roughly bashed cooked papads.  Looked quite good with a crunchy coating.
The chef said masala poppadoms are the most sold item in restaurants in India.
One for Phil perhaps?    :)

Oi!  It's a good mint dip is that.  Chunks of crunchy cucumber and onion too.  It does look a bit lumpy though.  ;D
