this is an excellent appetizer recipe I did change it a bit: I added 2 t curry, cut the flour to 1/2 cup, added garlic salt, nutmeg and cinnamon. I tried them fried, but found the oil overwhelming the pumpkin. I fried them in a bit of butter and oil in a fry pan, like a blini (little pancake). I topped them with a dot of sour cream mixed with Major Grey chutney...awesome!!

We made this last night and really enjoyed them.The curry is not the best spice for this, in my opinion. Next time, I would try more of a cinnamon or something like an allspice. Would help if they had a dusting of powdered sugar as well. First time making fritters and the directions were spot on.

These were great! I have a bit of a sweet tooth so I added just a bit of sugar...i cooked the pumpkin first too and mashed it and they were delicious

I wanted to try these as dessert,so I omitted the curry, changed it to 3/4 cup of flour and added 1/2 cup of sugar, 2 rounded tsp. of cinnamon and a pinch of ginger. When cool, I dusted them with confectioner's sugar. I received rave reviews, and it's so easy to make, I can even do them on short notice.

They are very fluffy. I made them to the recipe but instead of curry I did pumpkin pie spice. I also put powder sugar on them before setting them out. They went really fast. Really good- I have to find the curry powder to try the real thing.

My boyfriend and I both thought these were phenomenal. I did double the curry b/c the blend I have is fairly mild and we like things spicy. We didn't think they needed a dipping sauce at all; perfect as is. Keep in mind that the blend of curry you use will have a lot to do with the outcome. Curry is not a spice unto itself, it is a blend of several different spices and the flavor and strength varies widely. I tasted the batter before frying to make sure the spice level was correct. In regards to bad reviews b/c these were "bland" or "unhealthy" -- they were bland b/c the amount of curry needed depends on the blend you use, and if you don't want to eat something unhealthy, WHY are you making a FRITTER (which basically means FRIED BATTER) recipe? Anyhow, after trying these with the original recipe and reading the reviews, I feel inspired to make a batch for Thanksgiving but omit salt and add brown sugar instead, omit curry powder and use pumpkin pie spices instead, then dust with powdered sugar when they're done frying. Thanks for a fantastic & versatile recipe!

These were super easy to make and didn't taste bad, but they were a little on the bland side for Curry. I think I will try them again but add some ginger, mustard, and a dash of cyan like I would in a chicken curry recipe to add some bite. The resident 5 year old like them dipped in honey. As is, you could easily turn them into a spicy doughnut rolled in powder sugar, maybe add some cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice if you are going that direction? As is these would be a good dumpling on the side of a saucy Indian dish, but just as a snack, they really kind of lack.

Excellent flavor, perfect texture, but really needs a dipping sauce to go with it (BBQ sauce or ranch in a pinch, dill/sourcream would be excellent). I added some chili powder, onion powder, and garlic powder and was very pleased with the result.

Not bad, but I usually prefer pumpkin stuff to be a little sweeter. Wound up dusting these with powdered sugar. Made them again without the curry (I think my curry powder is a bit on the strong side), and used pumpkin pie spice and dusted with powdered sugar. Wonderful!!! My kids gobbled them up and keep asking me to make them again!
