Bhajis

1. Mix all the ingredients together for the bhajis
2. Take a spoonful and drop into the oil

3. Drain onto kitchen paper and sprinkle with salt

Dip

For a delicious dip try mixing balsamic vinegar with some salt, a little red chilli or chilli flakes, and some shallots finely chopped. To make our crème fraîche dip, heat a tablespoon of Shemin’s Indian or Seafood Curry Paste with 2 tbsp of water in the microwave for 20 seconds, then mix with a tub of crème fraîche (300ml). Add more curry paste for a stronger dip.

Tips

• To test the oil is at the right temperature, add a drop of batter and it should immediately crisp and rise to the top of the pan
• As an alternative to the above you can use onion, broccoli, grated potato, courgettes or sliced aubergines, peppers etc…
• If you have it, add 1tsp bicarbonate of soda to the mix to make the batter lighter
