  8. Achu, plantain fritters sounds yummy and perfect snack with a cup of tea. Thanks for linking to EP Series.
    Sorry to say but as per Julie's EP Series rule the spice/herb should not be an optional ingredient, it should be at-least 1 tsp and a mandatory item. If you could make required changes like - take out the 'optional' and alter the quantity of cardamom powder to 1tsp I would be more than happy to include them in the round up or else maybe I'll have to reject it. Pls check and let me now. thanks a lot again :)
