That’s wonderful, glad to hear and thanks a bunch for taking your time to send a feedback.
Love these but they make a mess of both my pan and oil, possibly I don’t let the oil get hot enough, however I have tried to ‘bake’ them with a moderately successful outcome.
Stumbled onto your website today, Just wondering if its OK to shallow fry these lovely looking kizhangu65?
