What do you get when you mix Saheena with Kachorie? Is it Sahorie or Kaheena? This recipe is a kitchen experiment that I embarked upon while utilizing some dasheen bush I had in my refrigerator. The final product is a delicious vegan fritter that is the perfect snack to have while liming with friends or family.
