Pumpkin Fritters (It's Yummier Than It Sounds)
My grandmother had me hooked on them, first.
Before that, I'd never even heard of pumpkin fritters. I mean, pisang goreng (banana fritters) are common; we see and eat them all the time.
But PUMPKIN fritters?
Ooh, but guess what?
They're absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS !! :D
I kid you not !
So when I was back for the weekend, my mum happened to be cutting up a pumpkin to cook for dinner. I thought it'd be a good idea to deep fry them instead, like my grandma did.
So I gave it a try :)
It's so easy to make, really !
Here's all you gotta do:
1) Prepare the Batter
You don't even have to add any sugar or anything. Nothing at all ! Just flour and water. Mix till you get a kinda runny mixture, but slightly thick.
2) Prepare the Pumpkin
Chop and cut the pumpkin up into slices. Not too thin, cos you'd want to bite into the fritter and actually feel like you're biting something, right? But not too thick either cos....nevermind. Just not too thick alright? :P
3) Dip pumpkin slices in batter and deep-fry.
And you know what?
You're done ! :D
And I must say, they're even better than banana fritters ! They've got such a natural sweetness that is hard to forget the next time you have banana fritters. :P
You have to try them ! I insist ! :D

The first fritter got left too long in the oil >.<
Oopsie. Aheh. :P

Can you spot the first fritter (that got left too long in the oil)?
:P

Don't they look absolutely gorgeous? :D

You have to try them ! I insist ! :D

I'm really amazed on how you did the whole process all by yourself! If it was me, I guess I may have just jumped far away for fear of the hot oil. :P Also, the pumpkins are nicely cut! Good cutting skills you have I must say. :)
And... *jaws drop* That's a REALLY big plate of pumpkin fritters!! The 5 of you can really finish them all! *shock* :P
Keep up the good work girl! I should really learn be as brave and helpful as you.:)
I like pumpkin fritters better :P hehe

I'm not so geng la. My mum was cooking also. I didn't do it alone :P hehe She cut the pumpkin, cos I was too slow. But I cut them into slices la. And actually, I was really terrified of the hot oil also. But my mum showed la, actually there won't be much spurting, cos the pumpkin doesn't have much water content. So there were no burns ! :DDDD
It's really easy. You should try ! And please la, you're wayyyyy better at baking. I should learn from YOU ! xD
Hmm, not sure I'll ever do it, hopefully one day I become so hardworking that I'll do so :P Or else... I'll be waiting for you to cook this for me! Muahahahaha! :P
