PARSNIP CROQUETTES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Put the parsnips in a roasting tin with the oil and roast for 1 hr 30 mins. Remove from the oven and cut into chunks.
• Meanwhile, make the béchamel. Melt the butter in a saucepan over a low heat, then add the flour and whisk. Remove from the heat and add the milk gradually, whisking after each addition until combined. Return to a low heat and cook, stirring, until thick. Stir in the remaining ingredients, except the Gruyère, add 1/2 tsp salt and take off the heat. Add the Gruyère and mix well.
• Once the parsnips are cool enough to handle, purée in a food processor and set aside. Heat the butter in a pan. Add the shallots and cook for 10 mins or until soft and golden. Tip into a large bowl with the parsnip purée, béchamel and horseradish. Season to taste, cover and cool. When almost cold, spoon into a piping bag and pipe into 3cm-thick lengths onto a baking parchment-lined tray. Freeze for 1 hr until firm but not completely frozen. Remove from the freezer and cut into 5cm lengths. Coat the croquettes in the flour, dip in the egg, roll in the panko breadcrumbs, then place on a parchment-lined tray. Chill until needed. Can be made up to this stage up to 24 hrs in advance.
• To fry your croquettes, use a deep-fat fryer or half-fill a heavy-based medium saucepan with vegetable oil and heat to 180C. Cook in small batches for 2-3 mins until golden and cooked through. Lift the croquettes from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Put on a warmed plate and cover with foil until ready to serve.

MUGHLAI PARATHA

Steps:

• Prepare the dough: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking powder with 2 teaspoons olive oil. Whisk to combine. Form a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the water. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir gently until the dough comes together. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for a few minutes until it forms a smooth ball. Rub the ball of dough in 1 to 2 teaspoons olive oil. Cover the dough loosely in plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel and let rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• While the dough rests, prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the egg and egg yolk, onion, cilantro, chile, turmeric, salt and pepper.
• Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface into a rough 12-by-12-inch square.
• Place the filling in the center and spread in an even layer, leaving a 2-inch border on each side.
• Gently lift the left side of the dough toward the middle and fold it, bringing the left edge slightly to the right of the middle of the filling. Repeat on the right side, folding the right edge of the dough toward the middle of the filling, so both sides slightly overlap at the center. Reinforce the seams by gently pinching them.
• Finish sealing in the filling: Fold the top edge of the dough down toward the middle, just far enough to safely seal in the filling, about 2 inches down, then fold the bottom edge up to seal in the filling, about 2 inches up, gently pressing to seal. Your end result should look like a rectangle.
• Fry the paratha: In a large skillet, heat the neutral oil over medium-high. Place paratha in the skillet, seam-side up, carefully spooning the hot oil on top of the paratha to baste it, tilting the pan if need be. Fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes, then carefully flip the paratha over and baste and cook until golden, another 5 minutes.
• Serve hot, ideally, or at room temperature, cut in half into two rectangular pieces.
