Neer Ponusu /Jeev Kadgi Phodi (fritters)

I am sharing traditional style of making the fritters in konkani style just like how my mom and gran used to make it with a ground spice paste . This spice paste can be even frozen and used whenever you feel like having them. Today I have used this paste in making fritters out of breadfruit ....choice here is endless you can even make fritters out of vegs of your choice like cauliflower, potato, karela these . Do try this I am sure you will enjoy making and sharing it with your loved one's as much as I have done over the years ... Happy Cooking !
