Growing up in the UK, vegetarian Indian food has always been part of my diet since I was a student. It is basically various vegetables dipped into a batter made from gram (chick pea) flour and stir-fried. It would be fun to use broad bean flour as we can&#8217;t grow chick peas here. The flour was mixed with water, salt and pepper, chili, cumin and coriander until you get a batter with the consistency of cream.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"f4atr\" data-offset-key=\"64ans-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"64ans-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"64ans-0-0\">The pictures show the 15 perennials I used (2 types of dandelion) and the final delicious and simple veggie dinner served with sour cream (or yoghurt), Most of the plants are forest garden species.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-17273 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-large'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=17274'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"790\" height=\"953\" src=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/P1820748.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-17274\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/P1820748.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/P1820748-249x300.jpg 249w, http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/P1820748-768x926.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/P1820748-300x362.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 790px) 100vw, 790px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-17274'>\n\t\t\t\tThese are Aralia elata (devil&#8217;s walking stick \/ fandens spaserstokk) young leaves which I had forced inside (I&#8217;d cut the tree down to stilmulate new shoots from the root as all the young shoots were too high to reach.
