Place the pumpkin in a large mixing bowl

Mix well. Grease your palms and create fritters of desired shapes(no water will be needed, as the grated pumpkin will still be very moist)

Rest the fritters covered for 8-10 minutes

Post resting, heat oil for deep frying

Layer the bread crumbs on a plate

Coat each fritter well with the bread crumbs and fry until golden /light brown on Low heat

Serve while the fritters are warm,accompanied with your favourite sauces/dips

Tip: To make this ahead of a planned meal, create the fritters and coat them with bread crumbs. Refrigerate airtight and fry/bake the next day
