• 10 zucchini blossoms
• 1/ 3 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons rice flour, or fine semolina
• 1 teaspoon nigella seeds
• 1/ 4 teaspoon turmeric powder
• salt, to taste

Method

• Step 1

  Remove the stigma on the zucchini blossoms and using the pastry brush gently brush off the excess pollen dust.

• Step 2

  Prepare the batter by adding water little by little. You want the batter to be smooth and free flowing but not too watery.

• Step 3

  Once the batter is ready, heat enough oil to pan fry the fritters on medium heat.

• Step 4

  Coat the batter evenly on the blossoms and carefully slide it to the skillet. Don’t overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and place it on a wire rack. (Placing the fritters on a wire rack instead of a kitchen towel helps release the hot steam so the fritters will stay crispy.)

• Step 5

  Serve immediately.
