The Gram flour based Bhaji batter is a bit of a favourite here. We’re tried all sorts of odd combinations but Mushroom Bhajis had until now slipped under the radar. Omission corrected…
Ingredients:-
6 Mushrooms sliced
Home made Garlic Butter
100g Gram flour
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp Chilli powder
1 tsp ground Cloves
Chopped Chillies
½ tsp Turmeric
Salt
Oil to fry
Method:-
(1) Melt the Garlic Butter (Margarine in our case) and stir with the sliced Mushrooms to coat.
(2) Mix the remaining ingredients with water to make a fairly stiff batter.
(3) mix the Mushrooms into the batter and make sure they are all evenly coated.
(4) Spoon into hot oil in batches and fry until golden brown.
They make a tasty side or are also good cold as a snack.
We had a little Pork mince in the fridge so Sue decided to make a variation on her Monster Burger. We're calling this the Boar Burger! Yes it's a bit elaborate, but it was fun – tasted really goos and fed three of us ( Including Buster the Dog!) For less than the cost of a “Reasonably Content Meal from Burgers R Us”!!!! ( Let's not get into Registered Name wars - but you know the place I mean.....)
Burger Ingredients:-
200g Pork mince
1 small Onion, finely diced
Onion Salt
Garlic Salt
Black Pepper
Paprika
1 tsp of Capers

1 Egg to bind
Courgette Fritters:-
½ a Courgette sliced
Soaked in White Wine Vinegar for 20 minutes
Dredged in seasoned flour

Bun Dressing:-
Mayonnaise & Tomato Sauce
Method:-
(1) Prepare all the ingredients.

Putting it all together:-
