Cooking with Shail

Hey guys!! In winter we all crave to have some hot food. Though fritters are famous for monsoons I love to have it in winters also. These fritters can be made with your lunch as a side dish or for your dinner. I have used my homemade schezwan chutney in this recipe. Link is added below for the same. You can use ready schezwan chutney also. It is very easy to make these fritters and all you need to do is grind and mix all ingredients together. You can also make it for your kitty parties as a starter if you want to keep it simple yet appealing. Serve it with hot tea or coffee. So lets get cooking…
