Description
Pumpkin sweet fritters, or gulgula, have been around for ages, passed down from grandmothers who knew a thing or two about turning simple ingredients into magic. These little golden bites aren’t just food; they’re a warm hug, a sweet memory, a taste of tradition.
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin, steamed and mashed, smooth but not watery
- 2 cups self-raising flour
- 1/2 cup sugar (or a little more if you’ve got a sweet tooth)
- 2 tbsp desiccated coconut for that subtle chewiness
- A pinch of salt to bring out the flavors
- A pinch of cinnamon, because pumpkin and cinnamon? Yes.
- 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
- Enough milk to make a thick, scoopable batter
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Mix the mashed pumpkin with the flour (you can sift it if you feel fancy, but I usually just dump it in).
- Stir in the rest of the ingredients, adding milk little by little until the batter is thick but still drops off a spoon.
- Heat your oil, medium heat is your friend here. Too hot, and they’ll burn outside before they’re cooked inside. Too low, and they’ll just soak up oil like a sponge.
- Drop a spoonful of batter into the hot oil, watching it puff up like magic.
- Flip them now and then until they’re golden brown and irresistible.
- Scoop them out, let them drain for a second (if you can wait), and enjoy.
- These are best eaten warm, maybe with a dusting of powdered sugar or even a drizzle of honey. But honestly? They don’t need anything. Just grab one, take a bite, and try not to eat the whole batch.
- Would I make these again? Oh, absolutely. And if you love easy, no-fuss treats that taste amazing, you should too.
