Another day, another time to think a good lunch recipe. What should I make? Fried? Something soupy? Maybe something with a savory sauce? Should I get meat? Fish maybe? Seafoods? Ahhh, out from the choices, shrimp, crab or squid sounds really good but I dunno why its bad for the oldies, aigoooo. When cooking a dish, there's really a lot of questions to be asked first before we can decided. A lot to consider too coz what I can eat is actually not good for the oldies. Ahhh, but can just make three dishes -too costly but what to do ┐(￣ヘ￣)┌.
Let's just go with veggies -fried veggies? Let's make it healthy and unhealthy, hahaha. ƪ(‾.‾“)┐
I got here the Squash, which what i'll be using for today's recipe. And of course coz i'm frying them, we'll need to grate them, here's our pangmalakasang grater. I already peeled the squash so let's G!
Although the grater is really helpful, but if you're grating a lot of them, it can he too much for the hand later on. And I kinda peeled lots of squash. By the way, I had to manually cut the small ones coz grating them can be too scary especially for my fingers, lol
Next is mincing garlic and onions, of course I minced a lot of them, the more, the better! And then I directly put it together with the grated squash
Fir the seasoning, I only used salt, pepper, and chicken cube which I grated too so I can season it well with the whole thing
I actually used twi kind of flour here, the regular and a rice flour. Sadly I run out if flour so I used rice flour to add more in it. Using this will surely be very helpful to to give us a crunchy texture for our Squash Fritters. And yes, I din't use egg coz its bad for the oldies.
We have here a long green chili, I just jokingly asked them if they want some of this chili on the fritters to add a lil kick of spiciness in it. I'll never thought the oldies would day "yes" to it. Lolol. And so yes, I mince some of them, just half of a whole chili. Though it is not as spicy as red chillies, but I am sure that if I used them all, they will become too spicy for us to eat. So I used just half. And them I just mix it with everything.
Frying time! I used a spoon to scoop a mixture and that's how I fry them. Not too small and not too big, enough size with a few bites. (＾∇＾)ﾉ♪
Look how much I made ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ. We ate these for lunch and as snacks too. We ate as snavks right after frying some haha. Coz why not right? Lol. For the dip, I just prepares vinegar with raw garlic in it and thats it!
And here's the inside of our squash fritters, soft, kinda juicy, I think squash really has that texture and thats why I like it when making a fritters. I prefer this than carrot though when it comes to torta, I like carrot better. As for the outside, it us crunchy which what I want to achieve in the first place. Glad I got what I want in today's recipe. Hehe
