These were intended to be more of a Potato Rosti but our grater wasn't up to the job so I improvised! They were actually more like an Onion Bhaji. Certainly not a disaster, but I'm good to admit an error once in a while!
These made an excellent Side dish for the Chicken Tikka Masala Skewers. Handy for dipping in Indian sauces!

We love Onion Bhaji and using Gram Flour as the base for this batter means these has a very similar texture when cooked. Oh and they tasted pretty good as well!
