#zaike - This is a famous street food from the city of Kolkata. They are generally made with maida (plain flour) and served along with potato curry. But I prepared it with whole wheat flour and relished with some homemade mango pickle. In fact you can have them just as it is or with any side dish. It can be either deep fried or shallow fried. This is a wholesome simple dish and serves as a great breakfast menu. You can also stuff with some cooked keema.
