For the second day of Blogging Marathon Week 3, I prepared a recipe from Hudson Canola’s Good Mood Food. When I received a pack of Hudson Canola Oil, there was a recipe book in the pack. There were so many lovely recipes but as usual I never tried them. So at least for the sake of BM I wanted to try a recipe. As I had all the ingredients needed for this recipe, I made it for our evening snack. It is a combination of nutritious ingredients and is shallow fried in canola oil to make it more healthy. I served the cakes with sweet and green chutney. The cakes were very soft and very delicious. The combination of green and sweet chutneys was wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed these cakes.
