OK……… traditionally this is a frugal time
of year. I don’t much like January and I really don’t like February. I just
want to stay in, stay warm, stay on the sofa and watch movies. And eat delicious food. However,
with money and my jeans now too tight to mention, filling the fridge is not an
option and a take away is out of the question. So, imagine my delight when I
discovered Legend In His On Lunchtime’s recipe for Vegetable Pakoras with
minted yogurt. http://thecookinyourkitchen.blogspot.com/2012/12/tis-season-to-empty-fridge.html
And as luck would have it, for Christmas I was given a whole bunch of spices a friend had brought back from his trip to Kerala.
I followed the instructions and grated a
selection of things at the bottom of the fridge……… in my case carrot, cabbage,
celeriac and onion….. mixed them with the spices and chickpea flour (also known
as Gram flour if you have trouble finding it) and
unbelievably they worked!
So easy and so delicious, I made them
three days running……. So much for the post Christmas diet.
Top tip: to combat cold weather, spice it
up in the kitchen…….
