got me some gram flour now , got a few other things as well ie cassia bark and deggie mirch and other stuff i needed i just couldnt get a hold of unless online.

will have another go at the bhaji's this weekend this time with the correct flour.

will post up again.

Hi all

i wondering if a typical bir would used packs of ready sliced frozen onions.

I ask this because i cant see them going to all the trouble of cutting up maybe a 100 or more onions every day.

I know these onions can be purchased, infact have a bag of them myself in the freezer from farmfoods. just wondering if this is viable, also these onions actually work out cheaper than fresh onions, which would be right up the street of a bir.

any comments??

got a block of it yesterday in morrisons, about 50p or so. hope that may be of help. its in their cake stuff aisle.

welcome

welcome to the site

ive heard about that xfactor, never actually watched it though.

i made a pizza tonight instead of curry, and got the chicken out defrosting for a sunday roast tomorrow.


i found a double decker in the fridge and ate that just now, never knew they still make em. It was worth the cosequences of whoever's double decker it was finding out later. lovley!

ok here are the pics


this is the mint used, the recipe here https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=1224.0 apart from i used some yellow food colouring, i also used easy yo yogurt my wife made up from a packet, real lovley stuff, this was a lemon yogurt so i didint add any lemon to the recipe. it was superb!!!!




and here is the bhaji, as of this recipe except no gram flour.




here is a close up

i just had a go at bhaji for the first time, using this recipe

i also made a mint sauce


the sauce was absoloutly lovley, but i realy need to work on the bhaji's !

i didint have gram flour so used plain flour, i think my mix was a bit thin, and i cooked them at to high a heat.

Basically i ended up with quite a mush, i struggled to keep them together in the wok, the taste was reasonable, but they were kinda burnt on outside and raw inside, this is all down to my cooking technique., just they didint quite look right and to be honest never made the grade, not even close.

However i still ate them so did the wife. I took pics of the finished article and wil upload later tonight. This will be as a warning to all of how not to make a bhaji lol.


Ah well at the very least i learned a few lessons and im sure my next attempt will be much better.


On the point of getting them round, i was thinking if they were scooped up using one of they pea/carrot scoops that all restaurants have, i tried it with a ladel, but a scoop like that would allow it to cook and form a ball better.

here is a pic of what i mean



these are used for tea, but i think they could be utilised for bhaji

thanks santa

im lacking a spice grinder, or blender not long been doing this cooking thing.

will go with your plain flour suggestion, maybe i can alter my spices a bit in the bhjai to create a nutty type flavour.

hello im going to have a go at a bhaji reciepe tonight, however i tried everywhere and cannot get any gram flour.

Is there a decent substitute for this and would the quantities as specified in the reciepe have to be altered.

just added this to an order i got online, but that dont help for tonight.
