Vermicelli Pakoda/Fritters- Healthy easy snack

Since we have moved to Bangkok I never got an opportunity to use my appam pan, mainly because it wasn't induction friendly and I don't have a gas stove in here. With endless google searches I finally found a product which can help me use all the utensils which aren't induction friendly. More info you can find in  Here . Also I would like to update, these induction disc converters were like a big savior for me since most of the stuff we cook back home were not induction friendly utensils and I bought them here since they were partners with me for a long time; I just didn't feel like leaving them behind.  Well, so like I said I couldn't use my appam pans in here and hence when I started using it, I thought of various things which I can cook in them.

Anyway so while searching for appam pan recipes, my search ended Here  (as of now) and decided to make thi...

Katori sandwich - Indian Savory Tart

Since the lockdown, demand for evening snacks has increased, well at least in my house and more than the hunger its demand for new, special & interesting dishes. I am sure this is going on in every household and we all are pretty bored with the usual food we make. Here's a dish which is a very simple recipe with basic ingredients yet something interesting. I like to call it Indian style savory tart or katori Sandwich😁. It is very easy to make and tasty.   I have made a basic sandwich filling with chicken, eggs, veggies and mayo. You can make any filling of your choice and add. I have baked the Tarts/ katori as well as fried them (Images Below). Both came out perfectly right. You can bake or fry as you prefer. The below measurements will make up to 15 Tarts/ katori's. If you have the filling leftover you can refrigerate it for later use and make sandwiches.  You can check out other snack recipes HERE . Lets see how its done.  Step by Step images are given below...
