Zucchini Fritters

Ingredients

• 2 large zucchini

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)

• ½ teaspoon pepper

• 2 eggs

• ½ onion, chopped

• 2 tablespoons of oil (or more if required)

• Sour cream and chopped chives (for serving)

 Method

• Grate the Zucchini – Grate 2 large zucchinis using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a bowl and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of salt. Mix well and let it sit for 10 minutes.

• Prepare Dry Ingredients – In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly.

• Beat the Eggs – Lightly beat 2 eggs in a small bowl.

• Remove Excess Water – Squeeze the zucchini firmly with your hands to remove as much excess water as possible.

• Combine Ingredients – Add the beaten eggs and chopped onion to the bowl with the zucchini. Mix well to combine. Gradually add the flour mixture and stir until fully incorporated.

• Cook the Fritters – Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Drop a heaping tablespoon of the zucchini mixture into the pan and flatten it slightly with the back of the spoon.

• Fry Until Golden – Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

• Serve – Serve immediately with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream, garnished with chopped chives. Enjoy!
