EGG Plant Fritters (Fritelle di Melanzane)

Follow me on FB and Zomato..

Crispy, Gooey and Buttery egg plant fritters were a hit at home and most requested to prepare again by my dad and mom. The few changes you can do is add chicken salami or paneer in the stuffing. We can also pan fry these if you dont prefer deep frying.
