Pictures of Your Curries / Re: Vegetable pakora...Glasgow style !
« on: June 01, 2012, 07:46 PM »
Hi Chewytikka,

Believe it or not, my most hated food in the world is...................GARLIC :'(. The smell just turns my stomach.
I have been at dinner parties where I have had to refuse to eat chicken Kiev !

Although I do add to curries, I always cut down on the garlic.

I have, believe it or not, been physically sick smelling garlic.

Unfortunately my wife of 38 years likes it so you may imagine it does cause some problems if she has been out with friends, had a g****c meal then rolls round in the bed to face me. What a thought !

I'm afraid you G&G is not for me !............ :'(

Regards

what indian restaurant or takeaway would you base your pakora on?

Hi Gazman,

Got this recipe many years ago from a chef in a curry house in Paisley. I think the building is now re-developed !
The chefs comment to me was something like..

" There is nothing to pakora. Do not add any veg to this recipe. This is simple, cheap to make, and a mega money maker. Any chef who tells you there are 12 - 15 ingredients to this is having a laugh. This is Glasgow pakora" I believed him and the taste has always suited me/my family/friends

Do give it a try.

The pakora benefits from resting for a few hours..though you can, of course, eat immediately (we often leave overnight in container in fridge) and re-heat in oven at 200 deg for 10 mins or so. Wife thinks this is healthy option  :-\ Needless to say they can also be re-fried in oil.

They will come out crisp at the edges and soft inside.

Go on....you know you want to. :) :) :) :)

Hi,

We live on the Isle of Skye.....250 miles away from this restaurant, and make 3 weekly trips to Glasgow.

We never miss an opportunity to eat here.

The food is tasty and fresh.
Staff very pleasant.
Prices fair.

Do give it a try if ever in the locale

BUT....and it's a big but.... they tasted superb. All the family agreed it's a very nice bread...maybe it's the kalonji, which I've never used before.

I'll look froward to trying these out on a tandoor.

Thanks for another top recipe CA! 8)

Hi Mick,

To be honest mine did not rise greatly but the flavour was superb. They were also quite soft.

I also cut down on the brushed oil/ghee resulting in a dryish top to the naans.

I would certainly do them again.

Cheers

Skronk you've drawn my attention to this and got me at it now...
Where is this modified recipe hiding, is it the first one that was modified by doing it under the grill, oven and microwave etc?

Hi Tommy,

I made the original recipe as, like you I could not find a modified recipe. Perhaps it has not yet been posted.

To be fair I made my naans in a large frying pan, turning to cook other side, so they did not rise wonderfully well but were very soft and tasty.....I might add a touch more salt. Do try them. I done most of the work in Kenwood Chef with dough hook leaving me to knead the dough at the end.

Tasty

Cory Ander,

Thanks for this recipe.

Tried today and naan turned out really good. Made four for later, 4 to freeze just to see how they go and 9 doughballs which I am also going to freeze.

Thanks again. ;D
