Incidentally, when it comes to pizza, I like nothing more than the simple yet gorgeous Margherita. Garlic, tomatoes, basil and Mozzarella - enough to make those salivary glands work overtime. So I have taken these basic ingredients of the delightful Margherita and turned them into fritters with a crisp, egg-y coating.

The result is delicious. It takes little time to make. You could easily whip up a few for your guests this Diwali. The given ingredients yield about 15-16 fritters.

PS. If you do not want to use eggs you could make a batter using cornflour and rice flour.
