Bok phool + Kumro phool bhaja—flower recipes from Bengal

Bok phool translates literally to "heron flower"—called so because of the flower's uncanny resemblance to the bird. The flowers bloom between monsoon and winter. Every market has at least one or two people who sell bok phool in a large round wicker basket, the flowers arranged neatly in a concentric pattern. The tree can grow quite tall. Every other year, sometime in summer, my father trims the bok phool tree in our garden, and cuts off the upper branches. The tree grows back again by autumn. Bok phool can be cooked in many different ways, but my favourite are these batter fried fritters called bok phool'er bora. If you have been following our channel for some time, you are sure to have encountered this batter recipe before. It is my maternal grandmother's recipe. Instead of chickpea flour or rice flour, this recipe uses a mix of plain flour and semolina that produces a light but crunchy (not crispy) exterior. It stays crunchy even after an hour of frying even in Calcutta's humidity! Kumro phool, that is, pumpkin flowers, are equally popular in Bengal. The preparation for kumro phool'er bora is very similar to that of bok phool'er bora. Just get rid of the stalk inside, wash, dry and batter-fry. Inspired by how Italians stuff their squash blossoms with mozzarella or ricotta, we have also shown you a version of pumpkin flower fritters that have a stuffing of fresh chhana or cottage cheese. We flavour the chhana the same way that we flavour the chhana for chhana'r paturi—which is to say sparingly. This keeps the fresh milky flavour of the chhana intact. The cottage cheese stuffed pumpkin blossom fritters tend to lose their crunch quickly because of the water in the cottage cheese. If you make these make sure you eat them as soon as they come off the oil. As you can probably imagine, they are scrumptious! 🌟 If you want to support the work we do, become a Patron of our community Bong Eats Adda: https://www.bongeats.com/community/join ______________________________________________ 📝 FULL WRITTEN RECIPE WITH INGREDIENT LIST https://www.bongeats.com/recipe/bok-p... ______________________________________________ 🎥 RELATED VIDEOS 🎬 Moog-mosur dal:    • Moog-Masur Dal Recipe—Easy and Hearty Beng...   🎬 Chhana'r paturi:    • Chhana'r Paturi—a complete guide—cottage c...   🎬 All the batter-fried bhajas:    • Batter-fried bhaja   ______________________________________________ 🌶️ Buy Bong Eats gorom moshla, bhaja moshla, korchuri torkari moshla, etc., at https://www.bongeats.com/ ______________________________________________ 🔪CURIOUS ABOUT OUR KITCHEN POTS & PANS? 🍳 https://www.bongeats.com/kitchen/tools 🎶 MUSIC "Chowringhee" © Bong Eats, composed by @Bemanan Music 🎧 GET THE ALBUM (© for listening only) https://kit.co/bongeats/music-album-q... 👨🏽‍🍳 Cooking Bong Eats recipes? 👩🏽‍🍳 📸SHOW US YOUR PHOTOS on Instagram @bongeats, or follow us on Twitter @bongeats | Facebook @bongeats.
