This is a Bengali recipe of stuffed kantola fritters or pakodas. These are actually supposed to be fried in mustard oil but I had to substitute it with normal cooking oil as we don't get mustard oil in Brazil. I am sure the mustard oil must be giving a better flavour and colour to the pakodas....nevertheless we still enjoyed them.
Wash the teasel gourds and scrape the outer skin
Cut them into half length wise.
Steam them for 10 -12 minutes. Let them cool.
Scoop out the middle seed portion with a spoon. Do not discard it as it will be used in the stuffing.
Grind the poppy seeds, mustard seeds, green chilli and dessicated coconut to a smooth paste using a little water.
Heat a little oil in a small pan and saute the ground paste,scooped out portion of the gourd adding the cream or yogurt and a little salt.
Stuff the steamed gourd halves with this mixture. Set aside
In a bowl mix the gram flour, rice flour, turmeric powder, baking powder, carom seeds and salt. Make a thick batter adding water carefully as needed.
Heat oil for deep frying. Coat the gourds with the prepared batter and fry them to a golden brown colour. These can be served as a snack on its own or with dal.
