maroo bhajia would be a good idea. peel about 10 potatoes. slice and place into bowl. put approx. half a cup of gram flour, half tspn. turmeric powder, salt and chillies to taste, 1 and a half tspns eno. mix well and fry a little at a time. prepare some chutney with it if you like.. blend some green chillies with salt and add some freshly ground garlic to it(little as it can get strong). serve bhajias with chutney. for dessert, gulab jamun would be ideal.

Your local indian grocer should have Pakora mix (79p packet makes 20). Add sliced onion to the batter and fry in oil. Instructions on packet......easy peasy!
