Very tasty and light recipe! I didn't have any fresh chilies, but instead used crushed chili flakes. I placed the cakes on a bed of crunchy lettuce and served with my home-made sweet chili sauce - absolutely delicious, and one I will be keeping for the future. -
Excellent. I did not have any fresh green chilli so used big heaped tsp. of sambal oleak other wise followed the recipe ingredients. I did find it was easier to put spoonfulls of the mixture on a tray lined with glad bake as it was pretty sticky. I then sprayed the top of the cakes with oil and when I turned them over gave them another spray. These turned out really light and fluffy and I will make them again. Definate keeper.
