Hello Foodies,
I was amazed by the spectacular air-fried Snakegourd Fritters/Rings! Padwal bhajjis turned out super scrumptious, and crispy. This healthy and delicious dish is a perfect side dish for varan-bhat, chapati, or roti.
The Snakegourds (Padwal in Marathi) are incredibly tender and unbelievably sweet. Padwal is a powerhouse of nutrients. They are rich in minerals and contain many medicinal compounds. Although Padwal vegetable is not liked by many if cooked in the right way it tastes delicious.
These snake gourd fritters are coated with a thick besan mixture with turmeric, red chili powder, and air-fried till golden brown.
