Squash blossom fritters

As a child, I used to enjoy fresh pumpkin blossom fritters during the monsoon season. I have tried to recreate the recipe using squash blossom. The fritters go well as a snack with a cup of chai or as an accompaniment with khichdi. I used the leftover batter to make some cilantro fritters(the green ones).

Ingredient

Cooking time :

15 mins

squash blossoms

3/4 cup

chickpea flour

1 teaspoon

nigella seeds

1 teaspoon

salt

1/2 cup

flavorless oil

1/4

th cup water

1 pinch

rock salt

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Wash the squash blossoms and keep them in a glass of water until ready to used. Before cooking, remove the sepal and stamen and wash again.

* Step 2

Mix chickpea flour, nigella seeds and salt. Add water to make a thick batter.

* Step 3

Heat oil in a pan. Once the oil is hot, reduce the flame to medium. Dip and coat the squash blossoms in the batter and add to the oil. Fry for 3 minutes and flip. Fry until both sides are brown and fritters are crispy.

* Step 4

I used the leftover batter to make cilantro fritters by adding chopped cilantro to the batter and following step 3 for frying. Sprinkle black salt. Wait for 2 minutes and serve with a hot beverage.
