If, like most of the British Isles you are in love with all the spicy tastes of India but like myself, do not want to look like the back end of Ganesh! Then here is a very easy yet delicious party food to share with friends. Not only are these bhaji's very tasty, they are low in fat and high in fibre!
Need I say more.....?
You will need,
1 very large/two medium onions, sliced (not diced!)
1 can of chickpeas, drained (or for the hardcore among us)
100g (dry weight) dried chickpeas, soaked and cooked
1 large potato,
1 or 2 teaspoons of curry powder (very much down to personal taste)
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan and then add the sliced onion, let this sweat on a low heat until the onion is cooked, about 5 minutes. Peel and cut the potato into cubes and bring to the boil in medium pan. When soft add the drained chickpeas and cook for a couple of minutes. Drain and place back in the pan. Add the curry powder and seasoning to the potato and chickpea mix and mash with a potato masher. Now increase the heat for the onion and gently brown, add the onion to the potato/chickpea and give it all a good mix. Now shape this in your hands into smallish balls (golf ball size!) the onion strands should be poking out a little bit and place on a baking tray. Cook in the oven for about 20 minutes or until the edges start to crisp and colour. That's it!!! Done.
Serve with Chill Out yoghurt raita dip.
