Squash Blossoms: Dosa (Crepe) & Salad

Posted in Dosas - CrepesFormat Post format: Gallery

My friend, Stephanie gave me Squash blossoms from her garden today. I have never cooked with them before.

What does one do with Squash blossoms?  Well I ask Google and find many recipes that urge me to “Fill them up with cheese and then deep fry.”  While other recipes call for putting them in Omelets, Frittata, Quesdillas or use them as a Pizza topping.

So now what am I going to do with them? I eat one raw, it is delicious!  Then I chop some of the Squash blossoms, put them in an existing Dosa ( crepe) batter. And I make some Dosas for lunch! Delicious!!!

chopped Squash Blossoms
Added tot he dosa batter
Blend well
Pour the batter on a hot griddle
The edges are brown, it is ready to be flipped
Crispy Dosa!

I stir fry the remaining Squash blossoms  on a medium-hot sauce pan for about 4 – 5 minutes, then add them to shredded to Red Cabbage -Cucumber salad with a bit of lemon juice and a sprinkle of crushed pepper on the top.

Yummy! Next time, I will stir fry the Squash blossoms with some rice, peas ….and cumin………….

I love to cook and write. Growing up in India, I learned how to make rotis and blend spices for different dishes. Now my cooking, here in the Montana is more focused on local, seasonal produce, cooked and flavored in many more ways....I enjoy cooking for my family, friends, gatherings at home and for fundraisers.

  1. Ish, I’ve only heard of people deep frying squash blossoms with a filling of cream cheese. I think your idea is so much better. Happy eating. YUM

      2. Makes me want to go there 🙂 The flowers are delicate and the flavor is mild, so it must require some expert handling and seasoning…
