Sometimes you wonder why you bothered...  :

VC - your bhajis look great!

Question - why do you use plain flour instead of gram flour? I've never tried with plain, but always assumed that gram flour is a must for a BIR bhaji.

Looking good!

Hi Josh

It's simply more economical, I've been in quite a few BIR kitchens and never seen gram flour. I've seen lots of plain flour though...

They're cheap and have an authentic taste. Most of the time you won't need to go to the shops as you'll have everything in to make them.

Enjoy.
