Ingredients
3 cups grated zucchini
1/3 cup rice flour
1/3 cup besan flour
1 tbsp garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp ginger, finely chopped
1⁄2 tsp chilli flakes
1⁄4 tsp pepper powder
1⁄2 cup finely chopped onion
2 tbsp thick curd
1⁄4 tsp baking soda
Salt to taste
Oil, for shallow frying
How to make
Grate one medium zucchini using the large holes of a grater. Trim and discard the ends Transfer the grated zucchini to a strainer, add salt and mix well. Cover and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes Squeeze out as much water as possible. Reserve the extracted juice In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, rice flour, besan, garlic, ginger, chilli flakes, pepper powder, onion, curd, baking soda and salt Mix well to form a thick batter. Add a little of the reserved zucchini juice only if needed. About 2 tablespoons should be enough, but add it gradually to prevent the batter from becoming watery Heat oil in a pan for shallow frying. Once hot, scoop out a portion of the batter and place it in the pan. Gently flatten it, keeping the fritter slightly thick Cook on both sides until golden brown and crisp Serve hot.
