As usual in Lent, we are doing meat-free (and mostly fish free) meals (always on the look out for good vegetarian weekday teas, incidentally). The way I cook, that means lots of pulses, and as the Asian brands are generally cheaper*, the Ocado algorithm appears to have decided that ALL I want to cook is Indian food, so it kept trying to get me to buy chapatti flour and jaggery... mind you, I might try chapattis some time.

* I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do with a kilo of gram flour, but it was cheaper (in absolute terms, not just by the gram!) than 200g of Waitrose chickpea flour, so I guess I'll think of something.

The River Cottage root veg frittata has become one of my favourites. Though it depends on your opinion of eggs in Lent and generally. https://www.rivercottage.net/recipes/oven-roasted-roots-frittata

I appreciate this one - I'm good with eggs in Lent, my chicken raising friends are swamped with them right now.

I am fine with eggs in Lent! I couldn't cope with six weeks of veganism, I'm afraid. The frittata looks good.

I've made moderately successful bhajis and very successful potato fritters using gram flour in my time (mashed spuds, frozen peas, fresh grated ginger and garlic, cumin, coriander (fresh and ground), fresh chilli, salt and lime juice. Make into patties, dip in gram flour and shallow fry.)

Ooh! The potato fritters sound brilliant. I shall definitely try those.

This is rather good if you like cauliflower - though it's better if you add lightly fried paneer

That sounds good!

I love gram flour - it makes wonderful savoury pancakes, veggie quiche and what I can only call a veggie scramble (I was going to call it a vegan omelette, but you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs, so....). Loads of veggie (and other) recipes on my food blog: http://mrsredbootsfood.blogspot.com/
