ABOUT Drumstick Flower Pakora - Sajne Phooler Bada RECIPE

In the start of spring, drumstick flowers bloom. They are very nutritious & full of medicinal values. In my family we make curries & pakoras with them.

Ingredients Serving: 4

Drumstick flowers with stem - 250 gm
Maida (refined flour) - 2 tbs
Rice flour - 4 tbs
Kalonji 1 tsp
Green chillies chopped - 2-3
Salt to taste
Oil for frying

Instructions

Take fresh drumstick flowers (those still on the stems are fresh; the flowers start withering when they are removed) & remove all flowers including little buds from the stems.
Dip them in water for a while & then drain the water with the help of a colander.
Rest them for some time so the water fully drains out.
Now in a bowl take the flowers.
Sprinkle maida, rice flour, kalonji, green chillies & salt.
Don't mix excess salt, otherwise Pakoras will taste bitter.
Mix all with hand. Mixture consistency should be thick not goey so one can make balls out of it.
Heat oil in a deep kadhai.
Make balls out of the mixture, 3-4 at a time & flatten them in your palm & slowly drop them one by one in the hot oil.
Deep fry all the pakoras.
When they turn golden brown take them out in a kitchen napkin to soak away all the excess oil.
Serve as snack or eat as a accompaniment with daal-chaawal.
