Submitted by Luther

"Quick and easy recipe from a Serbo-Croatian friend, Gordana. She likes them for breakfast. I do too - I've added the Indian style variation"

Thank you! Picked courgettes & oregano from the garden & made these for lunch! Used some gram flour as well as the usual which added to the flavour. Fantastic recipe!

Yum. We are trying out a low carb diet and were looking for something to replace the sauce absorbing quality of mashed potato. These worked very well and are also very nice in thier own right.
