Chilli Fritters
Background
Chilli fritters are one of my favourite snacks and it's a famous street food in the South India. It goes well with tamarind chutney and green chutney. As the name suggests, they have chillies though the fritters are not too spicy. The chillies used in this recipe are very big green chillies often found in any Indian store.
