GOLDEN WEDGES
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the sweet potato wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, ½ the NOMU rub and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway).
1, 2, 3, SAMBAL
Rinse, pick and roughly chop the mixed herbs. In a small bowl, add the diced Tomato, a ¼ of the diced onion, the diced Cucumber, ½ the mixed herbs, ½ the sliced chilli (to taste), the juice from 1 lemon wedge, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Mix until fully combined. In a separate bowl combine the yoghurt with ½ of the remaining herbs, seasoning, and the lemon zest (to taste). Set aside for serving.
BHAJI BATTER
In a bowl, combine the bhaji mix with the remaining rub. Gradually mix in 25ml of water until it forms a smooth batter. It should be the consistency of paste. If it’s too thick, loosen with more water in 5ml increments until the desired consistency. Stir through the remaining diced onion.
FRYING FRENZY
Place a pot over a medium-high heat and fill with 4-5cm of oil. When hot, scoop in the batter to form a bhaji patty and deep fry until cooked through and golden, 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towel and season.
PERFECT BUNS
Place a pan over a medium heat. Spread butter on the cut side of the halved bun or brush with oil. Place cut-side down in the pan and toast until crisp, 1-2 minutes.
BHAJI BURGER TIME
Smear some of the zesty raita on the toasted bun half. Top with the Cucumber rounds and pop on the bhaji patty. Serve with the roast sweet potato wedges, side with the sambal and serve the remaining raita on the side for dipping. You’ve earned it, Chef!
