Brussels sprout bhajis
Crunchy, flavoursome and a twist on a classic side, pair these Brussel bhajis with your favourite curry.
- 2 cups gram flour
- 1.5 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp chilli
- 1.5 tsp coriander
- 1.5 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp turmeric
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Water
- 180g sprouts
- 1 tbsp chopped coriander
- Groundnut oil
Cut off the bottoms of the sprouts and slice thinly.
Â
Mix the flour, herbs, spices, salt and baking powder in a bowl. Slowly add water and incorporate the mix together. If you add too much water and the mixture becomes loose, add more flour.
Â
Stir in the sliced sprouts, fully incorporating them into the mix.
Heat the oil in a pan over a high heat until it’s about 180 degrees (use a digital thermometer to get the right temperature).
Â
Fry a small amount of mix first to get the method right. Taste to try the seasoning and adjust to taste.
Â
Cook the mixture in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook until lightly crisp and golden brown.
Â
Remove each bhaji from the pan with a slotted spoon. Drain on a paper towel and serve with chilli sauce for dipping.
