I had bookmarked this recipe last year and prepared it today for kids evening snack.I was motivated to prepare this today as the theme in the foodgroup KAF is Egg or Anda.Egg is rich in protein and intake of egg in your daily diet is very good.Vegetarians may prepare this using onions,babycorn,mushroom,capsicum, paneer or even prepare mixed vegetable pakoda platter.I bet this dish will be a show stealer at any parties.
