Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe Mamij. This is wonderful, I will be making these often. Kudos on Making it into my Favorites Cookbook for 2016. These little fritters are the bomb. Crisp, crunchy, soft and tender. Simply delicious. They were quick and easy to make with great results. Really enjoyed the sesames in this dish.
