Pasta treat Eat it hot

Chef comments: Pasta Fritters by Meena Moorti is an excellent way to use the leftover pasta which gets a nice crispness and flavour from the potatoes added to it. I suggest the addition of more vegetables along with the pasta and using all Indian spices or all Chinese flavours to give the dish a particular character. My compliments to Meena for a very useful and wonderful recipe!
