Both alternatives provide similar texture and flavor.

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey offers natural sweetness with a unique flavor.

eggs

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: applesauce

Flaxseed meal is a vegan alternative that binds well.

Chop the pumpkin into small pieces.

In a bowl, combine rice flour, plain flour, and water to remove lumps.

Add salt, pepper, and mushroom seasoning to the flour mixture and stir until smooth.

Add chopped shallots and optional chopped dried prawns to the mixture.

Mix in the chopped pumpkin and stir well.

Heat oil in a wok until bubbling.

Add green chili to the oil for extra spice (optional).

Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, flipping to ensure even cooking.

Remove fritters from the oil and drain on paper towels.
