  • Hi everyone,

    I haven't posted in a few weeks, although I have been popping in to check the thread. I had a bad couple of weeks where I had a gain, then I had a cold and felt awful.

    I had an interview on Monday and......I got the job!:beer: So happy I'm still at risk of ewxploding lol. I really wanted to celebrate yesterday, but stayed on plan and I'll probably treat myself at the weekend.

    Well done to those that have been losing, and hugs to anyone that's struggling a bit. I have weigh in tonight, so I have my fingers crossed for a loss!
    I'll post my diary later this evening

    Makes about 8 medium bhajis

    (free on EE if eaten with 1/3 superfree)

    I med red onion
    1 med white onion
    Clove Garlic chopped
    1 tsp salt
    Tin chickpeas
    Egg
    1 or 2 tbsp Curry powder
    Cumin seeds (optional)
    Black onion seeds (optional)

    *Put chickpeas, salt, curry poder, cumin seeds, garlic and egg into food processor and blend until a smoothish thick paste. you may need to add a little water to get the right consistancy.
    *Chop onions in half and slice thinly. Add the chick pea mixture and black onion seeds if using to the onions and mix with your hands until onions are separated and covered in chick pea mix. Leave in the fridge for about half an hour or longer
    *Spray an oven tray with frylight and using your hands form 8 loose bhaji shapes from the mixture, leave some onions sticking out as they get nice and crispy. Spray a little frylight on the top of them (i use about 4 squirts for all of them)
    * Put in hot oven 180 degrees for about 20-25 mins or until the top looks golden brown and a little crispy, very gently turn them over and pop back in oven for another 10-15 mins or until evenly cooked and browned.

    My OH tells me he prefers them to takeaway ones as they are not as greasy, i shall be trying the ones with mash soon to see how they compare.

    :D I will be making these tonight - syn free!!!

  • thanks for finding that again, BettyB! I did make the mash ones and really liked them. We have a tasting at class in a couple of weeks so I might try those chickpea ones for that (if I have time between getting in from work and going out to class).

    GlasweJen, I think the medicines we take for colds etc are a hindrance to weight loss, too. I can only find sugar free menthol throat sweets; all the other medicines have sugar in them. I'm sure you'll get your 2lb loss next week :)
    :jThat's 2 stone 9 lbs gone forever:j

    thank you Slimming World!

    LOL I use mash and chickpeas in mine

    ..does that make me super greedy?? :o :rotfl:

    Long time no post... I had automatic updates set up but I forgot that New Threads happened so I just thought the thread had gone quiet...

    ...Silly Mummipig ;p
