Cut the Squash in half lengthways and take out all the seeds. Also cut off the skin – although a bit here and there won’t hurt at all (all adds to the texture…)
Chop about a third of the seedless Squash into small ish chunks – also chop an Onion – and fry both gently in Olive Oil with a crushed Garlic clove and a little Chilli Powder (if you like them hotter) for around 10 mins or until squashy (no pun intended) and soft
Once the Squash and Onion are cooked – add them to a food processor with another half of a raw Onion, and whizz them up to a chunky puree
Grate the other two thirds of raw Squash
Now, in a large bowl – mix together the grated raw Squash AND the cooked Squash and Onion mixture… Mix in a tablespoon and a half of Gram Flour, a tablespoon of 0% Natural Yoghurt and a large handful of Breadcrumbs. Also season well and add the chopped Parsley
Now take a teaspoon and make ball shapes before gently dusting them with Semolina and laying them on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper
Brush with a little Olive Oil and bake in the oven at 180˚c for 30 or so minutes or until they are golden brown and crunchy looking
These are perfect with Chilli Sauce – or with some natural yoghurt with a squeeze of lime and some crushed garlic. Are surprisingly good the next day too
