This is one of my fav snack foods and its spicy! The taste are mainly Chinese however with a fusion of Indian influence. I usually make this with boiled rice if you are having it as a main. For a starter put them on a bed of baby gem lettuce or any of your fav salad and serve as finger food. Warning the sticky gooey and spicy taste is super addictive and you will hope you made more.
