I love indian pepper fritters, they are yum especially when stuffed with indian spices and roasted in some olive oil. Initially I was planning to make it for dinner last night but then I thought it will make a healthy lunch box wrap, last night I prepared the stuffing and stored it in refrigerator , today morning I stuffed and grilled it and got it for lunch.
