Even though is it not officially fall season yet, I am seeing pumpkin and winter squash popping up in stores. The nearby pumpkin patch for the kids is in the making.

Hence when Bosch sent me their new Nutrimill Harvest, I was so excited to make something healthy. Yes, I used freshly milled chickpea flour to make these Chickpea Squash Fritters.

Surprise your family or guests with these fritters. There is no way they would guess that there is squash in this. Or better yet, sneak in some veggies for the kids. They love this crunchy stuff! Here is another healthy Fall recipe for your kids - Whole Wheat Pumpkin Oatmeal Muffins.

Freshly milled Chickpea flour with Nutrimill

You are not going to believe how easy it is to mill flour at home. Whether it is wheat, oats, rice, millet or chickpeas, Nutrimill can mill it all in just a few minutes. This is like a dream come true.

Where I grew up in India, many people milled fresh flour or there would be a local store where you take the whole grains and get them milled right in front of you. However this changed over the years and convenience took over. Let's get back to some healthy habits along with the convenience of easily milling fresh flour at home. Let me present to you this Nutrill Harvest machine.

I saw a demo of Nutrimill at a conference early this year, and since then I have been wanting to get my hands on it. It is a super sleek, gorgeous looking bamboo exterior with stones to grind the flour to the right texture you want (you can easily set the fineness for the flour).

Just add the grains on the top, and fresh flour will be milled and collected in a bowl. How easy is that?

Easy step-by-step Chickpeas Squash Fritters Recipe

Let's get the ingredients ready. The chickpea flour is milled. Peel and shred the butternut squash. I agree this is the hardest part of making these squash fritters, but trust me, it is totally worth it. You can also use a food processor to shred the squash.

Chop the onions and get the spices. I like to add onions as they get crispy and add a little crunch to the fritters.

Now in a large bowl mix the ingredients. You can save some parsley for garnish.

Use your hands or a fork to combine the mixture. The consistency should be such that you can form balls with it. Don't add any water when mixing. The chickpea flour will mix well with the moisture in the squash and onions.

Form small balls from the mixture and flatten them. Place in hot oil in a pan to fry. Cook on one side for 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the fritter is lightly browned.

Depending on how large the pan is, it will take 3-4 batches to fry all the fritters.

Don't they look gorgeous. I want to take a bite right now!

Serve them with a healthy dip on the side. I served with a yogurt dip with some garlic powder and thyme.

Why mill your own flour at home?

I have used store bought chickpea flour to make fritters before. However the taste was over the top with the freshly milled flour.

If you like to bake or use flours in your vegan or gluten free diet, Nutrimill is a wonderful addition to your kitchen. Freshly milled flour is more healthy with all the nutrients intact. Commercially sold flours often remove the germ which can turn rancid when stored for a longer period of time.

This Nutrimill looks gorgeous on the counter, and with their awesome milling technology, you can have freshly milled flour for your cooking or baking in less than 5 minutes.

Liberally coat a large pan with oil and let it heat.

Remove from oil with a spatula and transfer the fritters on a plate lined with paper towels.



Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with a dip of choice. Notes You can use butternut squash or kabocha pumpkin to make these fritters.

Butternut squash can be peeled and then shredded on either the large/medium hole of a box grater or in a food processor. Make it a slider or burger: Make larger size patty. You can add some cooked quinoa to the mixture if you like. I highly recommend a moist sauce on the burger with this patty, so it is not dry. Note: Nutrition values do not include oil used for frying.
