My first reaction is Yes, IF you can find a contemporary [preferably in
the same book] mention of fast day versions of dishes. Some do, after all.
At the very least, try use a frying medium cited in the same source.
Not something modern like margarine or canola oil. Yeah I know,
preaching to the choir here, but something to cite to your co-debator.
Cheers,
Selene
