Prawn Stuffed Kumro Phool Recipe

Kumro Phul /pumpkin flowers are used in Bengali cuisine in the form of an appetizer. Pumpkin flower fritters or Kumro phuler bora as it is generally called in Bengali is a famous appetizer in Bengal. Prawn Stuffed Kumro Phul was an experimentation on my part just to give the traditional kumro phul recipe a twist, where I made a mix of prawns and spices and then stuffed in the pumpkin flower then dipped in gram flour batter and deep fried.

Serves – 4 -5 persons

  • Kumro Phul/Pumpkin flowers – 5
  • Prawn – 200 gms
  • Tumeric powder – 1 pinch + ¼ tsp

Boil prawn with very little water along with 1 pinch turmeric powder & salt then keep aside.
Heat 2 tsp oil in a kadhai/pan and add the onions, sauté till light brownish in colour, now add the boiled prawns along with the garam masala and fry on low flame for 2 mins. Keep aside the fried prawns.
Now, in a bowl take besan and add turmeric powder, salt, hing, chilli powder, cumin powder and mix well, add some water to make a thick mix. Take the kumro phool, remove the stem and the pollen stalk, wash and keep aside.
