Spaghetti squash varies greatly in terms of wetness. You’ll really want to squeeze out as much liquid as possible so your fritters fry up crisp, not soggy.

Fritters
Step 2
Preheat oven to 375°. Pierce squash all over with a knife to vent. Roast on a rimmed baking sheet, turning every 20 minutes, until tender (knife will easily slide through), 60–90 minutes.
Step 3
Let cool slightly. Halve lengthwise and scoop out seeds; discard. Scrape flesh with a fork to remove in long strands. Using a clean kitchen towel, wring out excess liquid from squash.
Step 4
Mix squash, onion, egg, chickpea flour, curry powder, kosher salt, and cayenne in a medium bowl.
Step 5
Pour oil into a large skillet, preferably cast iron skillet, to a depth of ½" and heat over medium-high until oil bubbles immediately when a bit of squash mixture is added. Working in batches, scoop heaping tablespoons of squash mixture into skillet, pressing down with a spatula to flatten. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towles to drain; sprinkle with sea salt.
Step 6
Serve fritters with yogurt sauce alongside for dipping.
