My quick summary

Pakora is any stuff coated in a batter and deep fried like fish from a fish and chip shop.

BIR Onion Bhaji is a semi dry mix of onion coated in Gram flour, formed into balls
with wet hands and deep fried, Very crispy on the outside, soft and juicy onion centre,
very loose and light. The thin coating of seasoned flour on the inside is fully cooked and fluffy.

Been on Da Fazebook page, agree chronic jumble of photos and text lately.
But not much traffic anyway, looks like a Nick Roberts has taken over duties
and just picking photos and any recipe or vice versa. :

If you go back in the timeline Admin was putting links to the original
posts on CR0

At least he got my Zeera Madras Tutorial text correct
although subbed with Solars photos. (original circa 2011)

A few flavours going on there MA, nice and fresh
Looks like crispy fritters on the side. Yum!

Misleading post,   ;D just saying. ;D ;D
No where near a BIR Onion Bhaji

Its a Glasgow Indian Pakora
Ashoka Book recipe as posted.

The kind of thing supermarkets like Morrisons
do badly and sell as Onion Bhajis to the masses.

Plenty of real BIR Onion Bhaji threads on here!

A lot of onion Bhajis are ruined on the second cook in a restaurant, oil too hot
or not enough care taken in the busy kitchen.
Really annoys me when they bring out a frazzled Bhaji at the start of a meal.
Where ever I am, I make a point and ask for lightly done Bhajis, usually works.

I just don

Yes I

Dips was a fairly accurate standard TA recipe at the time.
except it needed a bit Salt, Chilli powder, optional small chopped onion and peppers
and forget the egg, you just run it through a food processor to bind it.

Pasco Pastes were on offer at my local, a quid a jar, grabbed a few.
Tandoori and Kebab are O.K. when mixed with a recipe.

However you photograph a sheek kebab, it always looks
like a dogs doodoo     ;D ;D
