I made these to go with the Dhal Curry With Meat (Gosht Dhal) they were full of flavour but not overpowering in the amount of spices. Easy and quick to make! I will definitely cook them again. Made for spring PAC 2014

Can't believe I'm the first to rate this since it was posted in 2006. But good for me as it's a winner. Went together soooo easy and the spices were a great blend - not to hot and just the right amounts. We made this to go with our breakfast eggs and made a nice addition and would be an interesting company side. I think next time I would add onions to the fry for just that extra flavor.
