Description

Every year during the holy month of Ramadan I make sure to come up with exciting bite – sized treats that are easy to make and high in taste . Ditching the regular deep fried treats once in a while  through out the holy month with fillings and names varying from the regular does work as a sure fire pleaser . Like wise , this was one such treat that I made to finish up the chicken + veggie filling I had made for samosas the previous day . The instant noodles cooked with its taste maker , mixed with this left over filling and spiked with other few ingredients . Then deep fried resulted in a soft , moist inside contrasting with the crispy crunchy outside . The joy in breaking down left overs and taking it to another level by mixing and matching to create new jaw dropping creations is delightful always . All you need to do to hide the left over’s used in a dish is to lift the sinful  treat straight to the table confidently and serve with lots of love . That’s my secret mantra and it works always :-)) .
