INGREDIENTS1 tbspn virgin olive oil 2 medium onions, finely chopped 1 clove garlic, crushed 2 tspn rogan josh curry paste ½ teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon white vinegar 250 gm chicken mince ½ cup water 2 tspn sweet chilli sauce 2 tbspn chopped HIDDEN VALLEY HERB coriander 1 pkt frozen spring roll sheets 1½ cups virgin olive oil

METHODHeat the wok; add oil and fry onions and garlic until onion are soft. Add curry paste and salt and fry a little. Stir in the vinegar. Add chicken mince and stir-fry on high until changes colour. Break up any lumps. Reduce heat, add the water, cover and cook until most of the water is absorbed (about 6 minutes). Uncover, add chilli sauce and coriander. Stir until the water has evaporated and mince is dry, remove to plate to cool. Rinse wok. Cut 10 spring roll wrappers into 3 even pieces i.e. (6½ x 20 cm). Place a teaspoon of filling at bottom end and fold over the pastry diagonally, forming a triangle. Fold again on the straight; continue to make 3 folds in same manner. Moisten the inside edge of the last fold with water and press gently to seal. Heat the clean wok. Add enough oil to be approximately 6 cm deep. Heat oil but take care not to overheat. Add 3 or 4 Samosas and fry until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon to a tray lined with paper towels. Repeat with the remainder. If Samosas become dark in colour, immediately remove from heat to drop the oil temperature.

HEIRLOOM SELECTIONSCELEBRATING 40 YEARS OF THE DIGGERS CLUBThe Diggers Club was founded in 1978, and is proud to be celebrating 40 years of heirlooms in 2018! The Diggers Club brand is well established and is synonymous with food, flavour and gardening in Australia with over 75,000 members nationwide requesting seedlings in-store.

Diggers started as a club for enthusiastic gardeners, specialising in hard-to-find vegetables and flowers, and has been instrumental in reviving interest in heirlooms and open pollinated seeds. Using trials to test, taste and accurately describe our vegetables has enabled us to become a trusted brand, offering quality products to the home gardener.

Heirloom Selections meet the needs of home gardeners and gourmets, providing a long harvest, exceptional flavour, and enormous diversity; everything a home gardener needs.

WHY GROW HEIRLOOMS? ◆ Flavour selected over generations by home gardeners. ◆ Long harvest. Heirlooms do not crop all at once. ◆ Home grown vegetables have nutrients, flavour and texture

that is lost in transport and storage. ◆ Huge range to choose from — colours, flavours and

heritage to suit all gardeners. ◆ Trialled and tested in varying climates to ensure both

productivity and flavour. ◆ Wide range of diverse vegetables means that everyone can

find something they like, and it’s better for biodiversity.

We have a huge selection of varieties,

sizes and prices to meet the needs of every home gardener!
