Ingredients
- 1. A generous cup of freshly grated pumpkin
- 2. Half a cup of soft brown sugar
- 3. A pinch of salt for flavor
- 4. A cup filled with whole wheat flour
- 5. A teaspoon of versatile vegetable oil
- 6. Additional vegetable oil for the deep-frying process
Step 1
Mix the pumpkin, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan placed over medium-low heat. Let it simmer until the brown sugar completely dissolves. Once done, take it off the heat and let it cool down to room temperature for a bit.
Step 2
Next, blend in the flour with the now-cooled pumpkin mixture to create a smooth dough. Introduce a teaspoon of vegetable oil to the dough and give it a good rest for about 5 minutes. Shape the dough into 12 equal-sized balls and gently press them down to form 2-inch wide discs.
Step 3
In a skillet, warm up the rest of the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Cook the dough in the sizzling oil until golden brown on both sides. Once cooked, place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil.
