Sorse Phuler Bora /Mustard flower pakoda

 

winter recipe

We used to get a lot of mustard flowers when we were in North Bengal. One of my neighbour used to bring me lots of mustard flowers from the neighboring land. The mustard field looks so beautiful....looks like someone has spread a yellow sheet. The mind fills. You only have to see from a distance.

 
We, Bengalis usally want to eat all kinds of vegetables and others in all seasons. So why is the mustard flower omitted?
So let's come to the cooking....very simple but delicious to eat.
Ingredients: Mustard flowers- 100 grams (I took....you can use as you like)
Gram flour: 1 cup plus a little
Black cumin: 1 teaspoon
Rice powder: 1 tbsp. If not then omit it. Adding rice powder makes pakoras very crispy.
White oil: 2 tbsp
Salt to taste.
Mustard oil for frying
Process: Remove the mustard flower from the stem and wash it. Now mix all the ingredients well. Add 2 tablespoons of white oil to this mixture. Be careful not to make the mixture too thin. Place the pan on gas and add mustard oil. Heat it well and reduce the gas and fry slowly in the form of pakoras. Ready all mustard flower pakoras carefully. Try it with hot dal and rice ...give a comment that how does it taste.

 
Eat and be happy in winter.
