Topic: Pakora and Bhajis

[Garp]

Couldn't be bothered making a full-blown curry today so just made a couple of starters and dips.

Chicken Pakora




Onion Bhajis




And some dips/sauces:




All in all, a nice tasty selection. Ready for my main course now

Bl@@dy h@ll, Garp, did you ask the local crematorium to cook the bhajia for you ?!

[Garp]

Are they overdone, Phil? I was looking for a crispy outside with a well cooked inside. Got both to be honest.

But........and please don't read any more if you are easily offended................












Are you still here?...........Don't scroll down.















Talking about crematoriums, Phil, I did come across my late grandmother's ashes recently, in the obligatory urn. As you can imagine, I couldn't resist adding a little to the spice mix. What a revelation it was!!!!!

The secret of BIR has been discovered, finally

Hahahahaha!!! I hope that was a joke 'cause I think that is funny. The Bhaji look like mine and I do like them like that. What is your recipe for the Pakora please, I would like to have a go at them.

My mothers are in a Jacobs plastic cracker tin.  A long story....

Is that on the back right tamirind sauce. The pakora looks nice. There was Pakistani shop that used to be round the corner from me and the owners wife used to cook various pakoras and they were fantastic especially the veg one.  She always promised my missus the recipe but it never materialised.

Hi SR - recipe is here - using pre-cooked chicken instead of haggis:

Thanks for that Garp. Can you use chicken tikka or is the flavour lost? I think that and Onion Bhaji would make a good starter with that Pakora sauce. By the way, I include a photo of my cremated Bhaji.

Bhaji should look like this...

I've never tried it, SR, but I don't see how it wouldn't be ok

Bhaji should look like this...

Are you a follower of the Prophet Chewhammed, Geezah, as you forgot to add 'in my opinion', instead,  stating it as a fact.

[Geezah]

I'm no expert, but I have never been served a dark brown onion bhaji in my life and I would be sending them back to the kitchen if I was.

Golden orange to deep red IMHO is the correct look for a bhaji.
