Guest guest Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Good morning Just curious what the Canadian vegetarians are serving for Thanksgiving this weekend. Myself I am still finalizing the menu, but I do deep fry a turkey for the carnivores so I will probably make some zuchinni fritters from my Indian cookbook, as these are deep fried as well.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Tell us about your zucchini fritters??? Ok the menu has been decided. All Indian. Rice with Shredded carrots and coconuts (Gajar Pulau) curried cauliflower and potatoes, (gobhi aloo sabji) and instead of zucchini fritters I am making pumpkin fritters, or kaddu pakora. The pumpkins have been growing fast and furious in the backyard so I am taking one and making this plus a pumpkin cheesecake. The recipe is as follows. 1 1/3 cups chick pea flour (I have used regular flour and no problem) 2 teaspoons salt 2 teaspoons ghee or vegetable oil 1/2 teaspoon tumeric 1/4 teaspoon yellow asafetida powder 1 table spoon crushed coriander seeds 2 tablespoons yogurt 1/2 cup cold water, enough to make the batter a medium consitency 25-35 pieces of trimmed peeled rip pumpkin cut into 2 inch squares 1. place the flour, salt, ghee or vegetable oil, tumeric, asafetida, crush coriander seeds and yogurt in a bowl and mix well. Add 1/2 cup of water slowly beater with an electric beater or wire whisk until the batter is smooth and easily coats a wooden spoon. You could also place these in a food processor and beat until smooth. Set aside for 20 minutes 2. Beat for another 2 to 3 minutes to lighten the batter. 3. Heat some oil for cooking (I am using a deep fryer. did the pumpkin pieces into the batter and place in the oil Cook until golden brown. Best regards to all. I will give thanks on our meal and wish that all on this planet can enjoy the love of family and friends and fullness of good food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
