Step-1
In bowl add the gram flour, chilli flakes, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, dried fenugreek (you need to rub this in the palm of your hands before adding), baking powder, salt. Mix everything together to combine all the dry ingredients.
-
Step-2
Slowly add some water and using a whisk mix together until you have a thick batter. It shouldn’t be really runny. You want it to stick to a spoon.

Using a spoon drop small amounts of batter to the hot oil and fry on a medium heat until a lovely golden brown colour. Turn occasionally whilst frying.

Tips

ALOO PALAK | POTATO SPINACH RECIPE
Mazadaar
Prepping your meals in advance doesn’t mean you have to eat the same boring meals everyday.
I plan what I’m cooking for the following week on a Friday and I’ll do the food shop on the Friday or Saturday. Then I’ll cook all the food for the week ahead on the Sunday. Things like salad, boiling rice I’ll do fresh before eating but most of the meals are ready.
Meals I’ve cooked for meal prepping in the photos are:
1. Chicken katsu curry with udon noodles & a pickled salad
2. Moroccan lamb stew with lemon Cous Cous and a side salad
3. Leftover mince & black eyed bean curry with cheese in a panini toasted for lunch
4. Mince & black eyed bean curry with roti & salad
5. Pakora wrap with imli chutney, chilli sauce & salad
6. Chicken & veg pasta
7. Mackerel Cous Cous salad
