DescriZucchini fritters are a delicious and versatile dish, perfect as a snack, appetizer, or side. Made by combining sliced and partially dehydrated zucchini with eggs, flour, and seasonings, these fritters are pan-fried until golden and crispy. The zucchini adds a subtle sweetness and a moist texture, while herbs like dill or parsley enhance their fresh flavor. Often served with a dollop of sour cream or a tangy yogurt dip, zucchini fritters offer a delightful balance of crunch and tenderness, making them a favorite for both casual and gourmet meals.ptionÂ

For extra crisp zucchini fritters, make sure to remove as much moisture as possible from the sliced zucchini before mixing it with the other ingredients. After slicing, place the zucchini in a colander, then squeeze and wring out the excess water. This step prevents the batter from becoming too watery and ensures a crispier result when frying.
Â
Step 1:
Slice your zucchini into very thin slivers and place them into a bowl. Then add 1/2 tsp of salt and massage that into the zucchini. Set aside for about 40 minutes.
Step 2:
When the liquid has come out of the zucchini, squeeze them hard until all moisture is removed and place the zucchini slivers into a clean bowl. Then sprinkle on the flour, spice, and salt. Mix with a spoon until all the zucchini slivers are covered with flour and spice.
Step 3:
Whisk 2 egg whites until they are stiff and then fold those whites into the zucchini mix. Gently fold the egg whites, trying not to push out too much air.
Step 4:
In a deep frying pan, add a layer of ghee or chicken fat that is deep enough (2-3 cm) to fry the fritters. Get the fat hot enough so that when you place the first dollop of zucchini fritter batter into it, it starts to sizzle. Don’t let the fat get hotter than 180 degrees Celsius (use a thermometer if you have one). Fry the zucchini batter for about 2 minutes on each side, or until dark golden and crisp.
Step 5:
Make 200 ml of simple mayonnaise to which you add 1 tsp of curry powder at the beginning and cut that mayo with two tablespoons of yogurt. This is the perfect dip for the fritters. Best served hot or warm.
Best served straight after frying!
