Hi There!
Yesterday I was remembering my good old days... then I was going through my old diary and I came across this recipe which was shared by my friend during my college days. She used to bring this along with a yummy onion based chutney in her snack box and I always savoured it a lot! I had made it few times and it stole the limelight when guests visited us as it made a wonderful starter dish or tea time snack or for snack box.
I realised that I am yet to share it with you all. Hence today I am sharing the recipe for this crispy snack with you.
It is easy to make and delicious too. You can serve it with Tomato ketchup or sauce or the tamarind -dates (tangy sweet) chutney or with green spicy chutney.
