I will give it a go!

But if anyone else happens to read this post and has the same type of Bhajis - let me know the mix

best, Rich

Guys i make onion bhajis i guess the same as most on this forum -  however im trying to make them more round and bread like in the middle - with not much success!!

I have had them years ago in a restaurant / take away  and they were slightly heavy round and were more like a breaded type filling with onion in - it would have been the besan flour but what created the soft bread like texture?

Has anyone had similar and do you have a recipe?

Chewy young man - i really enjoyed this thank you - awesome!

great to see good chef's creating instead of just serving out the regular dishes - forget Mr Ramsay and alike - brilliant - liked the soundtrack too! but is the end tune the one from Backdraft?

Hi there Chilipopper
im just on with the old tandoor -
best, Rich

Uncle Buck thanks for the link to the pics - nice job!

Mick - how tall and wide is the steel tandoor you have - it looks the way to go i reckon with some wheels on the bottom it could be portable-ish. How thick is the steel? It looks like it has a stainless outer - probably to make it look nice!
What is on the bottom under the gas ring? ie the base

Looking at your pics mate - its a steel cylinder inside probably some insulation then a stainless outer how does the air circulate for the gas flame and i presume there is a lid / top on this

The pics look great mate - we cook everything out here on bottle gas  - basically all the gas connections valves and all things nice to do with portable gas are ready available.. vermiculite is a bit of an arse to find. The garden tandoor you constructed looks great mate - is it made from just a normal terracotta pot?

Secondly the steel one does the flame burn then you put the baffler plate and the ceramic briquettes on it? finding ceramic briquettes out here could be a tricky one also.

I was thinking of something on the lines of both designs you have in one - a gas connection into a terracotta pot insulated with stainless or steel round it. Steel and stainless sheets are reasonable priced out here and there are plenty of places that work them around me. 
I didn't know if it was better to make a terracotta tandoor and fire real charcoal in it - obviously we have a little better weather most of the year ! Also i would imagine that there must be some sort of raised up plate with holes in (probably about 8 high) etc with the charcoal on that so the air could enter and circulate up to fuel the burning charcoal.
