I'm a bit of a novice bhaji maker, but I was very pleased with these (and my chilli loving husband even more so!) I was a little short on fresh coriander so had to make up the difference with bottled, but otherwise, these were perfect! I thought DH might be sharing them with his friends, but no.. :D I was very pleased with this straightforward recipe and will undoubtedly be making them again, thanks, Brian!Â

How easy are these to make? Answer-very easy!! I used ready chopped coriander from a tube ( don't cringe Brian!) as my plant is lacking in leaves at the moment,and I like to have it as a back up.It worked just fine,and added plenty of flavour.My homegrown cayenne chillies added a good kick of heat to them.They were delicious!!!! My husband is the bhaji fanatic,and he gave thumbs up,so I thank you Brian for a fab recipe,I think I shall be cooking these a lot!!Â
