Salad Pea Bhaji style with mango chutney

(For 4 portions)

Wafer:

• 100g rice flour
• 5 egg whites from medium eggs
• 20 pieces of Salad Pea

Bhaji:

• 24 pieces of Salad Pea
• 4 red onions small to medium
• 80g mango chutney with chunks
• 2 tbsp flour
• ¼ of a tsp baking powder
• ¼ of a tsp sumac
• ¼ of a tsp paprika
• 5 tbsp water
• oil for frying

Wafer: 

• Mix together the rice flour and the egg whites.
• Divide the mix into 4 and lay each wafer mix on a non-stick baking paper and arrange 5 pieces of Salad Pea on top of each wafer.
• Add another baking paper on top of each wafer and cook in the oven at 180℃ for 6 to 8 minutes, then remove the first layer of paper on top and put back in the oven for another 5 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and place on a cooling rack until use.

Bhaji: 

• To make the batter, blend together the flour, baking powder, sumac, paprika and water (in that order). Whisk well and leave aside.
• Peel and slice the red onions very finely and mix in and crush a little with 20 pieces of Salad Pea.
• Pour the vegetable mix into the batter and form some portion by pressing in the middle of your hand.
• Fry each portion until golden brown, lay on a tissue paper once cooked to remove the excess of oil.
• Serve on the freshly made wafer with one piece of salad pea on each one (see picture) and one spoon of Mango chutney
• Enjoy!
