Ingredients
- INGREDIENTS:
- 1 scant cup pure pumpkin puree (exactly half of a 15-oz. can)
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 6 drops liquid stevia (or a little sweetener of your choosing)
- 1/2 c. plain whey protein
- 3 T. oat flour
- 1/3 c. coconut flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. curry powder
- 1 tsp. Garam Masala
- 1/8 tsp. sea salt
- 1/2 tsp. glucomannan powder (konjac powder)
- Your preferred oil for frying
Preparation
Step 1
DIRECTIONS: Measure the pumpkin into a medium mixing bowl. Beat the eggs into the pumpkin. Add the sweetener and stir. Measure all dry ingredients on top of the wet ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula. Fold the batter on top of itself several times to mix the ingredients and let the glucomannan powder “set up” the batter a bit thicker. Heat your choice of frying oil in a deep skillet or wok over medium high heat. Drop the batter/dough by tablespoons into hot oil. I had enough batter to make 16 and only fried 8 at a time to avoid overcrowding and oil cooling off too much. Fry the fritters for about 1 minute on a side. When both sides are golden grown, remove them with a slotted spoon to paper toweling to drain. Serve alongside any Indian foods or they are delicious just by themselves!
