Homemade Stuffed Masala Hot Dogs, an Indian Hot Dog Recipe
A delicious Indian inspired bharwa masala hot dogs recipe that is perfect for gatherings or appetizers. They come together in minutes and pair great with cocktails, mocktails, or a simple soda.
Why stuff them? The masala inside of the hot dogs tastes better because it does not get in the way of browning the outer sides. Give it a try 🙂
