Our barn, our recipes

Cooked in a barn above Silent Pool

This gravy starts the way it did in Mandira's family kitchen in Calcutta: whole spices, toasted and ground the same morning, cream stirred in slowly so it never splits.

We cook in small batches in a 400-year-old barn in the Surrey Hills, then blast-freeze every pot the day it's made. Cooked, then frozen. That order is the whole point.

Onion Bhajis with a Crisp Edge and a Soft, Spiced Middle

Our onion bhajis are handmade from sliced onion and spinach, bound in gram and wheat flour and lightly spiced. You get the crisp, craggy edges of a proper bhaji and a soft centre, without the greasy golf-ball a takeaway sometimes hands you. They are vegan, so they suit most of the table. We cook them in small batches at our Silent Pool kitchen and blast-freeze them the same day.

VEGAN
No dairy, no egg. The batter is gram (chickpea) and wheat flour. We cook in a kitchen that also handles gluten, nuts and dairy, so we can't promise against traces. Check the label if you have a serious allergy.

HOW TO COOK ONION BHAJIS FROM FROZEN
Oven or air fryer, straight from frozen, for 8 to 12 minutes until crisp and hot. Skip the microwave or you lose the crunch that makes a bhaji worth eating.

HOW SPICY ARE THEY?
Mild and family-friendly. There is flavour and warmth from the spices, not heat. Serve with tamarind chutney to dip, or green chilli chutney if you like a kick.

A STARTER OR A PARTY PLATE
A plate of onion bhajis kicks off a curry night, fills out a sharing spread, or vanishes at a party with drinks in hand. Pair them with samosas and a couple of chutneys and you have a starter board ready in minutes. They keep in the freezer, so there is always something to put out when people turn up.

AWARD-WINNING, MADE IN SURREY, DELIVERED FROZEN
Behind these onion bhajis sit 15 Great Taste Awards and more than 520 five-star reviews. We make them by hand in Surrey and deliver across the UK. Buy a pack of our onion bhajis today and keep a proper Indian starter in the freezer. Each pack gives you plenty to share, and they crisp up in the air fryer while the rest of dinner comes together. For vegan guests and gluten-free eaters at the table, they are an easy yes rather than an afterthought.

Good questions
