Description
Paped fritters. A snack i tried recently when i had to send a vegetarian meal over to a friends place. I came across this recipe from trala dalals magazine cooking and more. The recipe was suggested for Jains so it had no onions or garlic used. I liked the idea of paped used for coating the fritters so grabbed it immediately and tried it out with a little more ingredients added to my choice. I did come across a note recently in Ancesteral chef. Com which said Use “adapted from” if you are making a small modification to someone else’s recipe. Call it your own if you change three or more ingredients (unless the original recipe was so unique that your recipe still looks pretty similar in which case call it “inspired by”) Well i am confused as how to call this dish my own, inspired by or adapted by. Whatever we have an awesome dish to share. That’s good enough isn’t it.
