Spread the onion out on a non-stick baking tray, spray with low-calorie cooking spray and bake below the burgers for 15-20 minutes or until crispy, stirring halfway. 5 To make the sauce, mix the soya yogurt with the chutney and divide between four small pots. 6 Fill the rolls with lettuce, cucumber, tomato, a bhaji burger, the crispy onions and red pepper. Serve with the chips, salad and the sauce.
TIP: To make the chips, preheat oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9. Peel 900g floury potatoes and cut into chips.
Parboil chips in a large saucepan for 4 minutes. Drain and leave aside to dry. Return the chips to the dry saucepan, cover and shake to rough up the edges. Transfer to a tray, spray with low-calorie cooking spray and bake for 30 minutes or until golden, turning occasionally. Season to taste. Or, if you’re short on time, you can pick up a bag of frozen Slimming World chips from your local Iceland store – cook according to the pack instructions.
