Rather than going with the usual bread-crumbs as a coating, I wanted to use wheat bran as a coating for this dish and see how it fares. I have to say, it fared well. Crunchy on the outside and smooth on the inside it was an instant hit. Since it was an experiment,I had made only a small batch of this yummy crunchies. The plate got emptied in no time. Later I wished I had made more. This is one dish that will make you wish for more.Always! Do try it sometime.
