For the Zucchini Fritters
Ingredients
- 500 g zucchini
- 70 g all-purpose flour
- 50 g cornstarch (Maizena)
- 1 onion (or fried onions as a substitute)
- 20 cl milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 small bunch of mint or parsley
- 100 g grated parmesan cheese
- 50 to 75 cl oil, for frying
For the Dipping Sauce
- 1 yogurt
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Prep the Veggies: Grate the zucchini and the onion. Add a pinch of salt and place them in a colander over the sink for at least 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, squeeze the zucchini firmly to extract as much water as possible.
- Make the Batter: Mix the flour and cornstarch together. Gradually add the milk, whisking well to ensure there are no lumps. Stir in the eggs, parmesan, chopped mint (or parsley), and pepper.
- Combine: Mix well, then fold in the drained zucchini and onion.
- Heat the Oil: Heat the oil over medium heat until it is hot enough for frying.
- Fry: Using a large spoon, scoop up some batter and drop it into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan, as this will lower the oil temperature and make the fritters greasy.
- Cook: Fry the fritters for 5 to 8 minutes (depending on their size), turning them regularly until golden brown.
- Drain: Place the fritters on paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat the process until all the batter is used.
