I saw a recipe online where Instead of making whole Bhaji's the mix was fried as bite sized nibbles (finger food) which means you don't have to double fry, has anyone done this?
-
They are called pakodas, which there are loads of different varieties, i make them quite a lot and add them to curries that are sauce only like Madras, Pathia etc.
I also make them to take down to my local pub with 4-5 different dips.
-
I had onion pakodas at the t/a attached to Udaya supermarket a few weeks back. Very nice indeed but they weren't exactly small. I think this is another example of somewhat variable nomenclature in Indian foods. Bhajis, pakora and pakodas all seem to either be just variations on a theme or even simply different names for the same actual food.

UF, you been banned aswell ???
Onion Bhaji may have multiple meanings and names in different languages.
In the BIR context, you must use Gram Flour aka Besan, made from Chickpeas.
BIR Bhaji is a dry mix, Pakora is a wet batter mix. All great Indian snack food, yum :P
I make all varieties ;)

No CT, i stopped posting on the other site when there was a 5 or 6 page topic about the length of a grain of rice, i do post on here sometimes when i feel the need but of late the recent topics on here have not interested me one bit. Also been busy with work and still selling curries to my customers and now 2 cafes.

Don't know whether you are being sarcastic or not with your post, i am not referring to CTs recent post, he did post a while back when he first got his hut, was certainly not a dig at CTs post.

Generally speaking, I am far more likely to respond to a question or to a message of introduction than I am to to a series of photographs, especially if the latter are not accompanied by a recipe. Questions always deserve an answer, messages of introduction normally do (unless they are just a lead-up to spam, or are another form of self-promotion), whereas reports of one's activities in the kitchen may occasionally be of interest, but are rarely sufficiently interesting to warrant a reply, IMHO.

I know it does littlechilli and it also takes time to get recipes from restaurants which i have done in the past and i have also posted my Tandoori adventure as well with picture by picture advancements.
I dont know why i am getting such a bad reception to be honest i have been a member of this forum for over ten years and have posted several recipes, pictures and advice just because i dont post on other topics doesn't make me a bad man lol.

Littlechilli, Phil,
valid points in each post, sadly this old cliche applies to most members ( Must do Better ) myself included.
Regards pap rika.

This is all getting a little off-topic but if you want a post, then here it is.
I can't always post every day and sometimes, even when I can, if the forum has been active, topics can slip off the radar, so I am sorry about that.
I generally try to welcome each new member that joins and posts and introduction, even if I am new-ish myself.
I also think the longer standing members know that they are respected and appreciated and I don't think post all the time looking for 'likes', to borrow a term from Social media. Personally, I also suffer from the very real affliction of "Tandoor Envy" and so I generally do not post on those topics/threads.
And finally, I am guilty of sometimes posting topics in the "talk about anything other than curry", if the forums seem to have gone a little quiet, about subjects I am interested in and to generate some activity.
Regards,
BAJ

UF thank you for your contributions, I have found some really good info posted by yourself in a variety of previous topics and feel I have learned something through reading your posts. Please know that you are appreciated and do not let someone who is permanently cranky put you off.
