I tried the tandoori mix last year and thought it was good enough to get a couple more from b&m's at 69p each.  :)

When I make pakoras or bhajis at home, I usually add four seeds.
Coriander
Cumin
Fennel
Ajwain

But with takeaway pakoras, its always coriander seed that I taste first.

Found this forgotten blog last night (not been updated in 2 years). The only two recipes look interesting.

Seekh kebabs

Ingredients

Kilo fine lamb mince
Medium onion
Medium Potato
2 slices of bread
4 fresh green chilli (finely chopped)
Teaspoonful of roasted crushed cumin
Teaspoonful of garam masala
Tablespoonful of dried fenugreek
3/4 tablespoonful of salt
1/2 red chilli powder
Good handful of fresh coriander
1/4 teaspoon full fresh grated nutmeg


Cooking Instructions

1. Put the mince in a large bowl, grate the onion and potato or put it through a food processor and squeeze out any excess liquid, then put the bread through the processor and make breadcrumbs.
2. Add all three to the mince.
3. Add the rest of the spices to the mince and mix really well.
4. Then put on wooden skewers and put on barbecue for 10 minutes or put an oiled tray in preheated over for 15 minutes at 200.

I spotted this recipe when Hari's blog was first posted.
Seeing a handful of fresh coriander in the ingredients gave me hope of a missing flavour, but sadly was not to be.
They were good, but not fantastic. There is one omission in the ingredients and its a big omission for me.
Coriander seeds!
Wherever I've eaten good pakoras in the UK, the main spice that always comes through is coriander seed. All the recipes I've seen don't add nearly enough.

So I would suggest next time anyone makes pakoras, add a good tablespoon or more of coriander seed and keep them whole, (or very lightly crushed).  ;)

Don't think these have been posted before?
They've been uploaded for a year or so and are (sort of) relevant to the current forum discussion.

PS: I agree with the comments about the chicken meat - something not right there.

Yes, reminds me of some 20 odd curries me old man once brought round (feeling sorry for me) when I lived in a spiceless mid Wales town.
They were frozen curries from a corner shop near Blackburn. Good flavour and value at 2 quid a throw, but the chicken!  :o
It was a very weird texture, soft mushy water injected, reconstituted god knows what!?
I said please don't  bring me anymore of those curries, but if you do, I'll just have the veg and the keema ones.  ;)
