    Thanks Mr Shah, You can always use ,melted butter instead of egg or spray oil just to coat bread crumbs.

    Hi Chitra, as usual great recipes and i also visited your blog and i really liked all of them along with the tip of the day. i have a question for this one, can we use some thing else besides eggs to pour and deep fry? I mean for those people who's strictly vegetarian can use something else any sort of batter? thanks
