Among the many fried and crispy snacks that make up Indian cuisine lies mutton pantheras. A relic of the British-Bengal era, this Anglo-Indian snack is similar to the more well-known spring roll in shape and texture. Minced meat is placed inside thin crepes before the entire dish is deep-fried. Invented by Burmese cooks (Mog Khansamas) in India, the dish is not as widely available but remains just as loved as it was during the British Raj.
