The Co-Op Christmas Party last Wednesday was a wonderful night filled with home-made treats, great conversations and a celebration of 2018.
It was fantastic to see everyone who could attend and to spread the Christmas cheer around.
Indian Yoghurt mix
- 1 bunch mint
- 1 bunch coriander (stalks and leaves)
- 2 green chillies
- 4 tsp cumin seeds
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 0.5-1 tsp salt
Chop coriander first. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend to a paste, adding the lemon juice and salt at the end. Store in a jar and mix when required with (dairy or vegan) yoghurt
Guacamole mix
- 1 Bunch Coriander (stalks and leaves)
- 100g onion
- 2 chillis
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 tomato
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 0.5 – 1tsp salt
Chop coriander first. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend to a paste, adding the lemon juice and salt at the end. Store in a jar and mix as required with mashed ripe avocados.
Both these pastes are great with Onion Bhaji (vegan-friendly fried food)
- Chopped onion
- Besan flour
- Cumin Seeds
- Chilli powder

Mix all the ingredients together to make an oniony paste. Shape into patties, 2-3cm by 1cm. Deep fry at medium high heat until golden brown. Serve by itself, with mango chutney or with the Indian Yoghurt mix or even the guacamole!
