Ingredients
2 Asda Mild & Sweet Trimmed Leeks, washed and sliced into 1cm rounds
2 Garlic cloves, grated
4cm piece Ginger, grated
2 tsp Garam Masala
2 Green Chillies, finely chopped
15g Coriander, roughly chopped
250g Gram Flour
1 tsp Turmeric
½ tsp Cayenne Pepper
1 Lemon, zested and juiced
3 tbsp Asda Mango Chutney
1L Vegetable Oil, for deep frying
1 Lime, cut into wedges
Method
1
Put the leeks, garlic, ½ the ginger, ½ the garam masala, ½ the chopped green chilli peppers and ? of the coriander in a bowl and season.
2
Mix together the gram flour, turmeric, cayenne, lemon zest and 225ml water to create a thick batter. Stir in the leeks and spices mixture until coated.
