This is typically a dish from Odisha. In every village, one can find pumpkin creepers and lots of flowers on them. Variety dishes prepared with the pumpkin flowers.

Here I have made pumpkin flower fritters without onion and garlic and in less oil. These fritters can be served as a side dish /snack. Onion and garlic can also be used. The taste is awesome the same, in both the preparations.
