These delicious, sweet, and chewy sweet potato balls are a staple street food snack in Thailand. I first had these in one of the night markets we visited where street vendors lined up selling different types of delicious Thai staples. This snack is locally known as Khanom Kai Nok Krata because they are small like quail eggs, ( Khanom = snack, kai nok krata = quail eggs ) and they are quite easy to make at home.  The outside is crisp and like a little donut, and the inside is soft and chewy.  This popular street food is also known as sweet potato balls amongst the foreigners. I would say, this tastes almost like a mini doughnut, they have that yummy chewiness and airiness we all love in doughnuts. But this doughnut would be the easy to make since there is no yeast, no kneading, no proofing. You can also find similar versions in Malaysia and Indonesia.  Sweet potato is the base of this dough, so not only does that make it flavourful, it's a snack you can munch on with...

This is another quick snack with leftover dosa batter. It is mildly sweet and perfect with some coffee. This snack is very easy to make, and I have made them in appe pan. If you don't have appe pan you can also deep fry them. I personally prefer the one made in appe pan, since it uses less oil. This is also a very good way to use over ripe banana's.  A similar recipe which is  Banana Dosa  for kids is up on the blog too. Also a Savory version of this snack, a popular Andhra snack,  Punugulu  is up on the blog too.  Do check out other  Snacks  uploaded on blog.  Lets get going and see how this one is made.
