Vegetarian Haggis Pakora

These are truly delicious.  The ideal fusion of our two national dishes - haggis and curry!

The batter

2 cupfuls of gram flour
pinch of bicarbonate of soda
pinch of chilli powder
salt to taste

Method

Add water to the dry ingredients until you have a smooth batter that is neither too thin nor too thick, so that it will coat the haggis effectively. Leave it to rest for 10 minutes.

You may like to add some extra ingredients to the batter, such as half crushed fresh ginger, crushed fresh garlic, cumin seeds, whole coriander seeds, tumeric powder, fresh coriander, garam masala, etc.

Form the Macsween vegetarian haggis into small balls, coat in the batter and deep-fry in hot oil until golden and crispy.  Drain on kitchen paper and serve.  Delicious hot or cold.
