Recipe

Vegetarian Haggis Pakora
These are truly delicious. The ideal fusion of our two national dishes - haggis and curry!
The batter 2 cupfuls of gram flour pinch of bicarbonate of soda pinch of chilli powder salt to taste
Method Add water to the dry ingredients until you have a smooth batter that is neither too thin nor too thick, so that it will coat the haggis effectively. Leave it to rest for 10 minutes.
You may like to add some extra ingredients to the batter, such as half crushed fresh ginger, crushed fresh garlic, cumin seeds, whole coriander seeds, tumeric powder, fresh coriander, garam masala, etc. Form the Macsween vegetarian haggis into small balls, coat in the batter and deep-fry in hot oil until golden and crispy. Drain on kitchen paper and serve. Delicious hot or cold.

Crispy haggis with winter vegs spinach
Ideal for lunch or a light starter.

Method 1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and gently cook the haggis for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to break up and turn crisp. Remove the pan from the heat and cover with foil to keep the haggis warm.

veggie haggis (Macsweens) - Sat 23rd Jan 2010
Absolutely splendid - rather like an excellent biryani - just needs the DAL or similar sauce
(or the usual Burns veggies)

Very very tasty and filling, very satisfying, although a bit on the salty side! To balance, I had with plenty of greens.

Tasty for anytime - Tue 17th Jan 2012
The veggie haggis is a really tasty idea for anytime, not just Burns night. I really love it with gravy and mashed swede and carrots. Also any left over haggis is great cold in a sandwich, not with the gravy of course!

I've never had traditional haggis so I can't compare - but for its own sake this haggis is tasty enough though a bit dry and bland for me. It's fine when eaten with other foods of stronger flavours, it goes well as a base or accompaniment for those and particularly items with sauce.

Great stuff, a tasty veggie alternative. This one's quite big though, will serve at least 2, so not ideal if you're just looking for 1 serving.
