DIY fish and chips

Naan bread is available at Makro, in the frozen food section near the dairy products. I never tried it so can't comment on taste, just thought I'd put it out there.

I have always found bought naan bread very disappointing. There are companies who do packet mixes, not sure if it was Sharwoods or Pataks, but teya re pretty good, but quite faffy to make, mind you so is my recipe. However I am currently at work on night shift and haven't got the proportions in my head, but it's simple stuff really...here's an outline.
You need milk, water, yeast, natural yogurt and white flour. If you want the extras such as garlic, there's a few wee tricks. I'll post the actual recipe tomorrow when I wake up, or before I go to bed.

Onion Bhaji, so easy but it took me so long to find the secret. You need Gram flour, also known as chick pea flour or bessan flour. Now I am not sure if any outlets there would have it, I get it here in Darwin easily, but we have food from all over the world here. You can try it with ordinary flour but they taste disgusting. I am sure Chern Chim could get hold of some gram flour. A bag lasts a long time.

Method, slice up a few onions into fine slices, making sure they are separated. Into a bowl sift some gram flour and add some natural yogurt, how much? About 3 tablespoons for a start. Add a good pinch of salt and now some garam masalla, or curry powder and a wee pinch of chilli. Add some water a bit at a time until you get a thick batter, like for the fish. Chuck in the onions and give them a good mix through so it's a onion batter conglomerate. Heat your oil, it can't be too hot or else you will get the burnt on the outside and raw in the middle bit, so drop in a pinch of mixture when you think it's hot and make sure it doesn't either sink or burst into flames!.
Get a tablespoon and take a spoonfull of mixture and place in the hot oil, it's as simple and idiot proof as that. You may have to mess around with the oil temp if they are going brown too fast, and be careful how many you put in at a time as it reduces the oil temp.

Drain, place on kitchen paper, squeeze of lemon, and you're back in your favourite Indian.

ty for the tips mate ,i have a pizza shop in kumpawapi .just put fish and chips on the menu.have had a tough time getting the chips right .tried your idea much better .but those spuds we get here will never make great chips.i posted on another forum on this issue .buy frozen was the only answar from the guys who consider the local spuds mission impossible as chips

I gather that there is a different variety of potato available (imported) from the normal Thai grown one at the produce market just before Macro. Bit of a distance for you to travel though.
It depends what someone's idea of a "good" chip is though.
Personally I like a chip that is crisp on the outside But 'fluffy' inside.
I think the 'mini-fries' style that Mc. serve up are a complete waste of time & effort.
I would prefer a chip made from the local grown potato any day to a frozen chip. I know there is no waste & they are easy to do but frozen chips served to me in a restaurant would be one of the first reasons I would not bother going back.

only spuds i,ve found behind mako market [same inside to] r the imported dutch very starchy.those r only spuds ive ever seen 4 sale,even at market here for the 9mths i,ve been here same.

there are no dutch potato in thailand, they are called holland but come from china...., i also bought all ready many different potato, the problem is ,looks like they contain to much water , and none of them are really good to make fries or chips, i even tried to make croquettes , but they also easily burst , like bob say's they must be crisp outside , and soft inside, with these potatoes here they look good but they aren't crisp outside and for me to fluffy inside...., but we must take it as it comes.... , or go eat them in belgium , whom are famous for their french fries....( and beer of course)
btw on thalaad montoong potatoes 10kg box 280bath...
