Courgette Bhaji

Courgette Bhaji recipe

We’ve been at it again with the Bhaji mix! Courgette fritters are a “Thing” so are “Courgette Bhaji” now…. With a little Lemon juice squeezed over these worked pretty well with the Jalfrezi last night.

Ingredients:-

Courgette slices
100g Gram flour
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp Chilli powder
1 tsp ground Cloves
Juice of ½ a Lemon
Garlic Salt
Tomato Puree
½ tsp Turmeric
Salt

Method:-

(1) Mix the dry ingredients with enough water to make a stiff batter.
(2) Dredge the Courgette slices in a little Gram Flour.
(3) Heat your oil to a medium heat.
(4) Fry in batches and drain on kitchen paper.
(5) When you are ready to serve re-fry to heat.

The batter works as an insulator, so the Courgette retains a bit of bite inside, which is quite cool. Well warm, but not cooked to a sludge!

Loaded mashed Potato Fritters

If you are ever a bit too generous with the spuds and end up with some mashed Potato left over this is a great way to make us of them.

Ingredients:-

Cooked mashed potato
Grated cheese
Flour (Gluten free in our case)
2 Eggs lightly beaten
Salt and Pepper to taste
Chopped Spring Onion
Oil for frying

Method:-

(1) Mix all the ingredients adding extra flour if the mixture seems a bit wet to form.
(2) Flour a board and pop your mixture on the flour.
(3) Lightly sprinkle the top with flour and then pat out to a thickness of about 1cm.
(4) Cut into disks. We haven’t go a cutting so I just use a glass!
(5) Add Oil to a frying pan and place over a medium heat.
(6) Fry gently on both sides.

We enjoyed these as a side with slow roast spare Ribs and Coleslaw.
