Bhindi Bhaji
Bhindi Bhajis are okra patties. Okra is used widely in Indian cuisine. Although it is quite high in disolved sugars, 'Ladies Fingers' are a very good source of fibre, vitamins A, C, K and B6, calcium, magnesium and Manganese, a good source of protein, riboflavin, niacin, phosphorus, potassium, zinc and copper, as well as being low in saturated fat and sodium, and very low in cholesterol. Bhindi Bhajis are good as a shared starter served with mango chutney or atchar, or as a side dish.

Dhal Curry
Like other legumes, lentils are low in fat and high in protein and fibre, but they also have the added advantage of cooking quickly. Lentils have a mild, often earthy flavour, and they're best when cooked with quite strong spices. The best and most delicate lentils are the peppery French green lentils. These tend to hold their shape well but take longer to cook than other lentils. The milder brown lentils also hold their shape after cooking but become mushy if overcooked. Indian markets also carry a wide variety of split lentils, called dhal (also spelt ' dal'). Lentil curry is usually eaten with Indian breads and rice.

Vegetable Samoosa
The samoosa (also sometimes spelled 'Samosa') is a delectable Indian pastry, quite similar to the Greek Spanakopita. It is made in a triangular shape with a pastry or phyllo crust. The pastry is stuffed with curried potatoes, peas, often diced carrots and spices. The phyllo version is fried to produce a crispy exterior, whereas the regular pastry crust version is baked to reduce fat content. The samoosa is usually eaten as an appetiser or snack with chutnies or mint yoghurt. Though the samoosa probably originates in India, you can also find them in the Middle East. They are popular in South Africa, the United Kingdom, and are growing in popularity in the USA.
