Ingredients
  

  • 16 squash blossoms washed and drained
  • Pinch of salt or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon red chilli powder
  • 2 tablespoon rice flour
  • 2 cups canola sunflower or vegetable oil (can be reused)

Method
 

  1. Add 4 tablespoon of water in a bowl. Add salt, red chili powder and rice flour. Mix well to make a paste.
  2. Heat the oil in a small saucepan. To check if it's ready, drop a pinch of flour paste. If it rises, it's ready. Once hot, bring heat to medium-low.
  3. Dip each blossom in the paste and then with a slotted spoon, carefully place in pan to fry.
  4. Fry each blossom till crispy brown, about 1 ½ - 2 minutes per blossom.
  5. Transfer blossoms to a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
