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.

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.
