I remember when I was very young, I liked to eat this snack. The older I grow up, the harder to get this snack. Not many people sell this snack anymore.
The outer of this snack is crispy and it tastes delicately sweet, can be eaten with or without powdered sugar. Almost similar to beignets.
The recipe is quite simple to follow, I was multi-tasking by doing house chores since the dough needs to be proofing. It’s quite taking time to make this but it’s worth it. I enjoyed having this fried/fritter with a cup of chai masala. Ohhh… perfect match !
