Ingredients:
• 2 medium zucchinis, grated
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• Oil for frying
To begin, rinse and grate two medium zucchinis. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess water. This step is important as it helps to prevent the fritters from becoming too soggy.
In a large bowl, mix together the grated zucchini, flour, eggs, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. The consistency of the batter should be similar to that of pancake batter.
In a frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop the batter into the hot oil, making sure to leave enough room between each fritter. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce, such as sour cream or tzatziki.
These zucchini fritters are a delicious and unique way to incorporate vegetables into your meals. They are also a great option for those following a vegetarian or gluten-free diet. Give this traditional Russian recipe a try and enjoy the flavorful and crispy goodness of these zucchini fritters.
Don't forget to use fresh zucchini and flour for the best results!
