It’s not news that I love Kellie’s blog and her recipes, she always inspires and excites me with her food 🙂
Recently she posted these fabulous ‘onion bhaji potato scones‘, an amalgamation of cuisines and flavours brought together to create a tasty flatbread. I made them the same week that she posted them and served them with an Indian feast that I had made for myself and my boys and they were a great success. I produced 14 mini breads and there was only 3 left at the end of the meal!
I finished them off the next day with some roasted root vegetables and fresh tahini sauce (above & below).
The recipe triggered some other ideas in me…an element of the recipe is to make a spiced onion mixture and I liked it so much that I increased the quantities and cooked my version of the onion mixture with coconut oil. I like the idea of red onion chutney but I can’t stomach all of the sugar, so this was my version in a way..
Ingredients
4 red onions, peeled and chopped
2-3 tbsp coconut oil
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp ground roasted cumin
1/2 tsp ground roasted caraway
1 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp onion powder
2 tsp amchoor powder
Method
I started by heating the coconut oil in a pan over a medium heat and added the onions to start softening them
I then added all of the spices and cooked the mixture over a low heat for 30-45 minutes so that it caramelised…
It was so good!!! I used it in various ways one of which was to create a quick pizza:
I spread the mixture over a plain flatbread (I used ‘khobez’, Arabic bread) and topped with crumbled goats cheese and baked until the cheese softened..
How good does that look?? I can tell you that it was good!
In my next post I’ll share what else I did with the onion mixture…
I love the food journey here and how one tasty dish led to more! 😀

OK now that I have a moment to discuss the potatoes!!! The potatoes were amazing! I made a bag of potatoes which might have been 10? They were gone! I am back to dieting but had to have some! I thought how would this simple recipe make fantastic potatoes but, they were outstanding. I wanted to take a picture so I could a post and include you but I cooked all day and then they disappeared! They are going into my recipes when I can make a proper post and have pictures, then I will save them as Elaine’s amazing potatoes!! Thanks dear!

This sounds like a magical way to top loads of healthy autumn and winter dishes (amchoor is much under-rated, I think). A keeper 🙂 And thanks for the mentions xx
