TWISTED MASALA TOAD IN THE HOLE WITH A CURRIED ONION GRAVY  

by Zars Kitchen Admin

THIS WAS EPIC my friends!!! Who doesn’t love a toad in the hole?  Always a fav with the whole family right?  Here I tried kicking it up a notch… made it a bit more exciting and it turned out bloody fantabulous!!

In my twisted version I’ve used a whole Cumberland sausage kindly gifted to me from @swaledalebutchers, heritage-bred gorgeous pork perfectly balanced with freshly ground spices and herbs… with the most delicious flavours.  The batter is made and refrigerated then mixed with spices and green chillis right before cooking but the masala onion gravy is what brings the whole dish together beautifully… this was an absolute HIT and I am so excited to share the recipe with you guys.
