Recipe Guide
- → How do I prevent soggy fritters?
Make sure to thoroughly drain and squeeze the zucchini before mixing. This removes excess moisture, resulting in crisp fritters.
- → Can I add herbs or cheese to the batter?
Yes, grated cheese or chopped herbs can be added for extra flavor. Parsley, dill, or feta work beautifully.
- → Which oil is best for frying?
Use a neutral oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable oil or canola, for golden and crispy results.
- → Is it necessary to peel the zucchini?
No, leave the skin on for added nutrition and color. Just wash thoroughly before shredding.
- → What can I add to the yogurt dip?
Lemon juice or chopped herbs like mint and dill give a bright, fresh note to the creamy dip.
