The basic recipe for a pusharata calls for flour, sugar, spices such as nutmeg and cinnamon and grated fruit that includes apples, oranges and lemons, as well as raisins. The ingredients are mixed together to form a batter that is scooped into balls and fried in hot oil. The fried pastry is then covered in powdered sugar and set on a rack to cool.
