JFI or Jihva for Ingredients is Indira's brainchild. Each month, food blogger community and other food lovers join to celebrate one Indian ingredient. Like that for the month of August, Nandita announced the great ingredient, "Chillies". Thanks Nandita. For that I prepared spicy and yummy bottleguard fritters. Here is my recipe:

1 big tender bottleguard
2.5 cups rice flour (adjust)

4. Now add rice flour to above mixture to form as chapati dough. Here one thing you have to remember that should not use single drop of water to mix the dough. Because when you grate the bottleguard, you can see some water quantity. Along with that water only you have to mix rice flour. For that you have add little little quantity of rice flour to grated bottleguard. Like that prepare the dough and keep aside.

5. Prepare the dough into lemon size balls, take each ball, press like poori on a wet and clean cloth.

6. Carefully remove from cloth and slowly drop in hot oil. Fry both sides till golden colour, remove and keep on a paper towels to remove excess oil.
