Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Gourd
Wash and peel the gourd. Cut it into thin slices or wedges, depending on your preference.
- 2
Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Gradually add water to the dry ingredients to form a smooth batter.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough for frying.
- 4
Fry the Gourd
Dip each gourd slice into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off. Carefully place the coated gourd into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

Drain and Serve
Once fried, remove the gourd from the oil and place it on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
