Bhajjiya
(also known as Pakora in Hindi) is a spicy Indian snack consisting of fried
onions and other vegetables, similar to potato fritters. It is used as a topping
on various Indian meals but has now become popular to eat alone as a snack.
The basic recipes consist of onions being chopped and then made into a
sort of dough with garbanzo flour, spices, then fried until golden. This is the
first time Pushkar is making an onion bhaji, rather than their usual mixed
vegetable bhaji.
Saag aloo is a creamy savory dish from Northern India containing spinach (saag)
and potato (aloo).
This versatile vegetarian curry is traditionally
associated with the Hindu religion.
Rogan Josh
is an aromatic dish from Kashmir and is popular in India, Pakistan and
Singapore. Rogan means oil in Persian, while josh means heat, hot,
boiling, or passionate. Rogan josh thus means cooked in oil at intense heat.
Another interpretation of the name is derived from the word rogan meaning
color and josh meaning passion, hot or red. So this is a meat dish which
is red in color. The ground pepper
is red in color but not as hot as Indian peppers. Pushkar adds tomatoes to this
brand new curry, specially made for tonight’s Antigua Curry Club
dinner.Naan is a round flatbread made of
white flour.
Naan is a staple
accompaniment to hot meals in India.
