Perfect for weekend breakfast or evening snacks for kids when they come back from school.
I stuffed these with cauliflower and carrot. You can choose a stuffing of your choice but keep the veggies crunchy so that when you bite into them you experience a variety of textures all at the same time. The super crispiness of noodles, softness of potatoes and then crunchiness of veggies. Potatoes should be mashed very nicely so that there are no lumps but please do not grate the potatoes.
I served them with red chilli jam. You can serve them with a dip of your liking. My sister likes these with hot garlic soy sauce dip.

For frying heat oil in a pan.
Take 1 tbsp of APF in a bowl. Add some water to make a very thin paste.
