Lauer Khosar Bora / Bottle Gourd Peel Fritters

 Bottle Gourd Vegetable peel was left after making Lau Chingri  (Bottle Gourd with Prawns). We normally make Lauer Khosa Bhaja or Lauer Khosa Bata. Since it is raining, I was craving for Lauer Khosar Bora with ghee and garam bhaat (hot steaming rice). This can also be had with garam cha ( hot cup of tea ). 

Ingredients 

1 bowl of Bottle Gourd peels cut into small thin strips. 

2 Green Chillies chopped 

1/2 tsp Nigella seeds

1/2 tsp Poppy seeds

2 tbsp Rice powder 

2 tbsp Gram flour 

Salt to taste 

Oil to fry

Method 

Take the bottle gourd peels in a mixing bowl. Add the green chillies, poppy seeds, nigella seeds, salt, rice flour and gram flour. Mix all the ingredients well. There is no need of adding water.  Keep it aside for 5 minutes, meanwhile heat up the oil. Add little fritters in the oil. Fry until golden brown in colour. Enjoy the hot fritters.
