Curried fried zucchini blossoms
Curried fried zucchini blossoms recipe in the zucchini category
Recipe ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/8 cups chilled seltzer or club soda
- 1/4 pound mozzarella, grated coarse, about 1 cup
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh coriander
- 16 zucchini blossoms, pistils removed if sired
- Vegetable oil for deep-frying
Recipe method:
- In a bowl whisk together the flour, the curry powder, and the salt, add 1 cup of the seltzer, and whisk the batter until it is smooth.
- Let the batter stand for 10 minutes and, if desired, thin it with enough of the remaining seltzer to reach the consistency of crepes batter.
- In a small bowl toss together the mozzarella and the coriander and divide the mixture among the blossoms, stuffing it inside them and pressing the ends of the blossoms closed.
- In a deep skillet heat 1 inch of the oil to 375 degrees F on a deep fat thermometer.
- Working quickly in batches, dip the blossoms, 1 at a time, in the batter, coating them completely, and fry them in the oil, turning them, for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, or until they are golden and crisp.
- Make sure the oil returns to 375 degrees F before adding each new batch.
- Transfer the blossoms as they are fried with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, sprinkle them with salt, and serve them warm.
