Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium zucchinis grated
  • 1/2 cup chickpea flour besan
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, cilantro, or dill
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 2-3 tbsp water if needed
  • Olive oil or vegetable oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Zucchini: Grate the zucchinis and place them in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This step is crucial to ensure the fritters are crispy.
  • Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, chickpea flour, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and baking powder. Mix well.
  • If the mixture is too dry, add water, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a consistency where it holds together when formed into patties.
  • Form the Patties: Take small handfuls of the mixture and form them into patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter.
  • Pan-Fry the Fritters: Heat a generous amount of olive oil or vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
  • Serve: Serve the zucchini fritters hot, with a dollop of vegan yogurt or your favorite sauce.
