Dip's Diner

This is one of the ‘permitted’ snacks for people who are observing a fast. Regardless, it is a very tasty and crispy breakfast dish and can be made quickly provided the  mixture balls are prepared in the shape of wadas already. It’s usually better to prepare the wadas the evening before and refrigerate them. Then for breakfast, all that’s requires is to deep fry the wadas and they will be ready to be served.
