Pumpkin is a low calorie vegetable. It is rich in dietary fibre, anti oxidants, minerals and vitamins. Recently  I came across this recipe, which used refined four. I substituted it with foxtail millet flour and it tasted very good. This can be served as an evening snack.

Ingredients:

  • 1 Cup Packed Grated Yellow Pumpkin
  • 2 Tbsp Foxtail Millet Flour
  • 2 Tbsp Chopped Coriander Leaves
  • 1/4 Tsp chilli powder
  • 1/2 Tsp fresh pepper powder
  • 1/2 Tsp salt

Directions:

  1. Add salt to the grated pumpkin and keep aside for 10 minutes.
  2. Add other ingredients and mix well. It may look little sticky, but fine.
  3. Divide the batter into 4 equal parts and flatten them.
  4. Heat a pan on medium flame and add a few drops of oil.
  5. Place them on the hot pan and spread oil along the sides of the patties.
  6. Once the bottom portion becomes crisp, flip and cook the other side with oil till crisp.
  7. Serve hot.

  1. Thanks for sharing this recipe and appreciate your efforts. Could you please clarify a doubt. Recipe says 1/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp salt. Is it duplicated by mistake or another ingredient replaced accidentally with salt?

    1. Hi Susilaa,
      Sorry for the error. It is 1/4 tsp chilli powder and now I have edited the recipe. Thanks so much for bringing this to my notice.

  2. Have eaten the potato version a lot at a Swedish restaurant. Should try this at home soon! It looks so colourful 🤩🤩

  3. Hello Vijaya garu,

    I want to try so many of ur recipes.. have just bought ur OPOS cookbook too.. it’s just that I don’t have any millet or millet flour at home right now 😜.
    Can I substitute foxtail millet here with something else ?

    1. Hi Shweta,
      Thanks so much for purchasing the book . Please go through all the recipes and comments by hundreds of happy followers one by one to understand about millets and how they can be used. For this recipe, you can use any other millet flour available with you.

    1. Hi Meenakshy,
      You can have it tomato sauce/ketchup. Spicy green chutney is also a good option.
