These are gluten free,less fat,less salt,shallow fried tofu cakes.Easy to make.You can add any vegetables or spices of your choice to this dish.I only added shallots as i had only that when i prepared it.You can add in grated carrot,cabbage,cauliflower, and so on.I also made it extra hot as we all prefer more spice.You can add just 2 chilies as I have mentioned in the recipe.Very yum and on a rainy day is really a great snack to munch on.Kids will love these too.
