LOL just went and looked around for threads to post on and it looks like everyone is posting recipes anyway so here goes...
Onion Bhaji Recipe is:
Makes 12, 1 syn on EE/Green/Red
198g/7oz onions peeled, halved and thinly sliced.
57g/2oz gram flour (chickpea flour) I got mine from ASDA, so not hard to find
1tsp Lemon Juice
2 tsp Cumin
1tbsp Corriander Seeds, crushed
1tsp deseeded and chopped green chilli
1 tbsp chopped Corriander
1/4 level tsp baking powder
Salt
Low Calorie Cooking spray
a pinch of Paprika
Put everything except the paprika in a mixing bowl, season with salt and add a few tablespoons of water to form a thick batter that coats the onion.
Leave to rest for 15 mins and then using your fingers, mix again to combine thoroughly.
Preheat the Oven to 220/Gas 7. Line a baking sheet with baking Parchment and, using your fingers or a dessert spoon, drop small mounds of the mixture onto the sheet to give you 12 bhajis.
Spray with Low Cal cooking spray and bake for 15-20 mins until golden, Remove from the heat and serve immediately dusted with a little Paprika.
Veg Samosas and Hara Chutney:
Makes 18
1 syn on Green/EE 2 syns on Original
Low Cal cooking spray
1tbs mild Curry Powder and
1tsp amchoor (dried mango powder)
397g/14oz potatoes, peeled boiled and mashed
113g/4oz frozen Peas
4 tbsp finely chopped corriander
1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
salt
3 jumbo filo pastry sheets (50cm x 24cm)
For the Chutney:
113g/4oz fresh Corriander and 57g/2oz fresh mint, finely chopped
1tsp peeled and finely grated ginger and 2 green chillies, deseeded and finely chopped
Juice of 2 limes
2tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp artificial sweetener
Place all the chutney ingredients in a food processor with 71ml/2 and a half fl oz of water and blend until smooth. Set aside until needed.
Pray a large non stick frying pan with low calorie spray and place it over a medium heat. Add the curry Powder, amchoor, potatoes and peas and stirfry for 4-5 mins. Remove from the heat and add the chopped corriander and red chilli, season well with salt and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 190/Gas 5. Line a large baking sheet with baking parchment. Working swiftly, place the three filo sheets on top of each other and cut them in half widthways. Then cut each half into 3 even strips lengthways to give you a total of six strips per filo sheet (18 in total)
Lay the strips out on a clean work surface and lightly spray with low cal cooking spray. Place a teaspoon of the potato filling at the bottom of each strip and fold the pastry diagonally to enclose the filling and form a triangle. Press down on the pastry and forld again until you reach the end of the strip leaving you with a triangular pastry parcel. Repeat and make 18 parcels.
Place the parcels in a single layer on the baking sheet, spray with low cal cooking spray and bake for 15-20 mins or until golden and crisp. Serve warm with the chutney.
Did you have a nice Christmas and NY?
Easily the nicest SW recipe I've tried! I bought the Curry Heaven book at class this week so I'm hoping to find some more gems in there! Have you found any more good ones?
