Everything is so healthy, until you get to the part about deep fat frying. Have you ever tried baking these? Oh, and maybe whole wheat flour, or at least part whole wheat.

instead of frying, you can bake these.. set oven to 175 c. brush with some beaten eggs on outer side of dough and bake until golden brown.. you can replace all purpose flour with some whole wheat flour too.. tats healthy indeed.. thanks :)
