Grilling food, compared to deep-frying, is a great way to cut down on your fat intake and you can still achieve a crisp texture.

This recipe is taken from 'Where Is The Fat?' cookbook, a compilation of healthier dishes created by the Singapore General Hospital's Dietetics & Nutrition Services. The cookbook is available at $26.40 from the SGH Block 4 Pharmacy.
