I hope you were happy with Gatte Ka Pulao from Rajasthan. Today, lets explore the cuisine of Sikkim which is land locked on all sides and is surrounded by the Himalayas. It is a popular tourist destination owing to the picturesque locations.
Their cuisine is primarily noodle based and momos figure prominently on their dining tables. But here I feature this snack which is very healthy and unique in taste.
I have come to know that these fritters (without the spring onion) are fairly popular in other parts of the country specially during the fasting days, locally known as 'Vrat Ka Khana'.
