At Banbury's Food Festival on Sunday, I purchased Coriander Garden's Pakora - Onion Bhaji Mix and a jar of their special Authentic Tamarind Chutney.
Tonight we ate a dish of mixed vegetable Pakora with the Tamarind Chutney, lovingly piled on top of a bed of my cooked,garden-fresh, French beans for supper, and very good it was too!
So easy just to add the required amount of cold water to the contents of a packet of Onion Bhaji mix, whisk together in a wide, shallow bowl, to make a creamy dip-like mixture; drop in the vegetable chunks to coat then gently scoop out with a slotted spoon and tip out into a pan of hot oil. Cooking your coated veggies quickly, in small batches makes for a very tasty crunchy lunch dish, serving it with a jar of Coriander Garden's delicious chutney and rice or gluten-free pasta or a tossed salad with rice cakes or buttered new potatoes.
A dish of vegetable Pakora would make a very welcome addition to any cold buffet table, while a small dish of the cooked veg and chunks of warmed bread, excellent for a speedy snack at any time of the day!!!
The onion Bhaji mix is made up of Gram flour, salt, dry spices and paprika and could be a very easy home make, for any kitchen, but I guess its Coriander Garden's own special compound of Dry Spices, which gives their product its very distinctive flavour......
Here's the fixings for my dish...

| into the batter mix ... and all cooked in hot oil in my wok, which worked very well. I also oven-baked a few which were OK but, well, were just a little less crunchy and interesting!!! Daisy xxx |
