Once considered wasteful, vegetable and fruit peels are now pushing the boundaries of culinary ingenuity. This recipe is an innovation from my Bengali kitchen where the bottle gourd peels are mostly preferred. This is a stuffed preparation of the peels and made mouthwatering by deep frying. The spicy mustard flavour with the typical poppy seeds taste and the chilli coconut combination of the filling makes it a real dish to try.

Steps

30 minutes

1

Peel off the lau or bottle gourd in a manner so that you can make slices out of it. Next pair the pieces almost similar in shape and size and keep aside
2

Now make the batter- in a bowl take 1/2 cup besan flour, 1/4 cup rice flour, 1 tsp salt. Make a mixture of mustard and poppy seeds with a green chilli in a mixer. I used dessicated coconut but freshly grated coconut is preferred
3

Slight roast the mustard poppy seeds paste in 1 tbsp mustard oil. Then add the coconut and stir fry lightly. Add 1 tsp of green chilli paste in the batter and mix. Now the stuffing is ready.
4

Now place 1 tbsp filling between two peel slices
5

Dip in the batter and deep fry and serve hot. The spicy coconut taste really adds flavour and make such a yummy crispy fry.
