Served in paper cones with fried green chillies for that ‘bhajia on the beach’ feel I’ve always been a sucker for ordering too many starters in restaurants, especially when it involves Crispy Potato Bhajia (paper-thin potato slices coated in a bespoke spice blend), Hara Bara Kebabs (pea and cauliflower cakes) and Daal Kachori (spiced daal in semolina pastry). I’m told my eyes are bigger than my belly and I’ve never been one to argue with legitimate allegations....

You technically can freeze cooked carrots, but they will end up mushy after being frozen, thawed, and reheated. Because of this, I don’t recommend freezing these crockpot carrots. You can add everything to the crockpot up to 24 hours in advance and keep it covered in the refrigerator until you are ready to put them on the crockpot base and cook them. Don’t cut the carrots too small! The smaller you cut the carrots, the faster they will cook....

And since I’m obsessed with Everything Bagel Seasoning, like these Everything Flatbreads and these Air Fryer Eggs they are the perfect snack!
