I love to eat pumpkin flower fritters. These fritters are so tasty and so easy to make. These can go well as starters or as a side dish with any Indian meal.
The speciality about pumpkin flower fritters is that it is crunchy on the outside and very moist in the inside. And the taste is indescribable.
So, you should try this at home as often as possible.
Ingredients:
Pumpkin flowers, with stems-as many as you would like to eat !
A handful of Maida or Wheat Flour
half teaspoon of salt , or according to taste
A pinch of baking powder { optional}
A pinch of turmeric powder
A pinch of dry red chili powder {optional}
Water
Refined Oil for deep frying
Method:
In a bowl, mix maida {wheat flour } with a little water { as shown in the picture above }. Add salt, turmeric, baking powder and chili powder to this batter and mix well.
Meanwhile,heat oil in a pan and when it starts smoking, dip the pumpkin flower into this batter and fry them one at a time.
Many people use besan { gram flour } instead of maida, but I prefer maida over besan as I feel that the maida does not overpower the unique taste of pumpkin flower.
