Peel away the tough outer layers of the banana blossom to reveal the tender inner petals.

Finely chop the banana blossom and place it in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, combine chickpea flour, rice flour, turmeric, red chili powder, and salt.

Gradually add water to the dry mix until you achieve a thick batter consistency.

Fold the chopped banana blossom into the batter until well coated.

In a frying pan or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium heat.

Drop spoonfuls of the batter-coated banana blossom into the hot oil.

Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters and place them on a paper towel-lined plate.
