Good afternoon everyone,

If you were in Children’s House today you would have noticed a delicious smell coming from the first floor classroom. The children cooked some of the vegetables they have been learning about and made a delicious Aloo Bhaji, everyone enjoyed some with pitta bread for snack and there was even some for the staff. I must say it is my favourite thing to eat! So if you have never tried it why not give it a go, children can help prepare the vegetables and you really can add any that you have to hand, try adding peas, carrots, broccoli and if it’s not for children you can add some hot chillies too.

The children loved it and it meant none of our vegetables went to waste.

Aloo Bhaji

Prep Time: 15 mins

Cook Time: 15 mins

Serves: 6

Ingredients

1 Tbsp. Olive Oil

1 Small Onion (thinly sliced)

6 Potatoes (thinly sliced)

½ Tsp. Turmeric

1 Tsp. Salt

1 Bay Leaf

3 or 4 Green Peppers

Method

In a Large Frying Pan over Medium Heat, Add Olive Oil, Onions, Potatoes, Turmeric, Salt, and Sautee for about 2 to 3 Minutes

Add bay leaf and peppers, and continue to stir fry for about 20 Minutes until the potatoes are cooked (always supervise children near hot oil)

Serve with warm tortilla or pitta bread and enjoy.

There’s a lot of interest in name writing at the moment and children are starting to add their names to their drawings and pictures. In red class children are learning all about their bodies and enjoyed playing a game of "Simon says".

Have a lovely evening.
