About:

Fritters are quick to make and endlessly flexible. This version uses garlic and coriander to flavour it. These fritters are shallow fried and indeed these are golden beauties whipped in no time and between their crispy exteriors, creamy interiors.

I served them with hot tomato chilli sauce (Recipe link click here)
