Butternut Fritter (Gulgula) Recipe

Steam the butternut squash in plain water until soft enough to mash.

Mash the steamed butternut squash using a fork or masher.

In a bowl, add self-raising flour.

Add sugar to the flour based on desired sweetness.

Pour in cold water to make the batter.

Add vanilla essence to the batter for flavor.

Mix until the batter is of a consistency that can fall into hot oil.

Heat oil in a deep frying pot until hot.

Using your hands, form the batter into round fritters and drop them into the hot oil.

Fry the fritters until golden brown, about 2 minutes each side.

Remove the fritters and place them on paper towels or rice paper to absorb excess oil.
