GRAIN FRITTERS.

Grain fritters are made with rice, dals and deep fried in oil.  Though I do not prefer oily food, once in a while that too during heavy rain compulsorily make you to sit at home and watch through the window or balcony, nothing to do, munching something crispy and fried with a cup of coffee / tea is  really you look forward.

Hence thought of making this crispy grain fritters and enjoyed with the tea.
