Your welcome S.S. - its a pleasure to see such enthusiasm .  - good cooking !

Kalonji might well be a good addition . Speaking of the latter , a few members might not be fully aware of the glossary of terms that we use ( i. e. kalonji , nigella and kala zeera are all the same spice ) . This can sometimes prove to be confusing . Here is a very good link that may well be of help to some of  the newbies .

OMG ! - Quick Paul , wave the right flag !

Hi Paul ,
Here is another similar recipe that works well -

4oz/125g/1 cup Gram Flour
1/4-1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4-1/2 tsp chilli powder
1/4-1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/4-1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp fennel seeds (optional)
1tbsp fresh chopped mint or 1tsp dried mint
1tbsp fresh chopped coriander (optional)
1 large onion quartered then chopped and sliced to varying thicknesses
4 tbsp strained yoghurt
Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Chuck everything into a bowl and stir vigorously until it's all mixed in. To make it easier, you can mix everything except the onion, fresh coriander and fresh mint with an electric mixer and stir the remaining ingredients in at the end. The mixture needs to be thick enough to stick to a spoon but not so thick that you can't get it off the spoon. If it's too thick, add more yoghurt or some cold water. If it's too runny, add more gram flour.

Mould the mixture into between 8 and 12 small balls.

Heat some oil (in a chip pan or deep fat frier) and fry your balls in batches of three or four for about 2 to 3 minutes to allow the mixture to set. Remove from the oil, drain and allow to cool. When cool squash your balls into small patties and return to the frier for a further 4 or 5 minutes or until cooked through. Remove and drain again.

What you do with your oats should be privileged information - not for the faint of heart . 

I have tasted this dish a few times ...very similar to a Korma with lots of cream and a nutty undertone of cashews and almonds .

DP is not really mad , just a little misunderstood - it all started many years ago , in a galaxy far , far away when he was a young and impressionable " Light Lord " . He foolishly squandered all of his watts , then succumbed to the dark side .  ;D  ;D

Great colour in the oil !
