    Method

    • step 1

      First, make the dip. Mix all the Chilli sauce dip ingredients in a small saucepan, bring to simmer, stirring until the cube has dissolved. Pour into individual serving bowls, and set aside to cool.
    • step 2

      Boil the haggis in its 'skin' according to the recommendations on the packaging (normally around 30-40 minutes although there are now 1 minute haggises for the microwave! Open the haggis, scoop out all the 'meat' and discard the skin. Break up the meat with a fork.
    • step 3

      Mix dry ingredients (chilli powder,cumin, salt) through the flour then add the yoghurt and lemon juice and mix into a thick batter.
    • step 4

      Heat the oil in a pan or deep fat fryer.
    • step 5

      Form the haggis into balls by hand and dip into the batter. Add directly to the hot oil and fry until golden brown.
    • step 6

      Serve immediately with a dipping sauce.

    How can I get the haggis to take to the batter? It came apart every time I tried to coat them?

    I made these last night and I have to say, it was total disaster to get my haggis balls battered! Very messy...I wondered why the Haggis wouldn't take to the batter...In the end I was so fed up I just mix the haggis in and was able to then make balls to fry. They are delicious but look nothing like…

    I was searching for a meat ball recipe - not Italian and this came up and although it isn't what I wanted - I do have haggis in the freezer that need using up so I will save this recipe for another day thank you
