Makes: Approximately 10 fritters | Prep time: 15 minutes | Cook time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 zucchinis
  • 1 carrot
  • ½ cup corn kernels
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten

Methods

1. Grate zucchinis and carrot into a sieve and leave to rest for 10 minutes. Then squeeze extra moisture in batches with your hands and place in a clean bowl. Or wrap in a cheesecloth and wring out. This is an important step to avoid soggy fritters.

2. Mix all the fritter ingredients in a large mixing bowl until well combined. If mixture is too wet and not holding together – add more flour.

3. Heat oil in a fry pan on medium heat. Make sure oil is hot.  Place a tablespoon or so of the fritter mixture in the pan and flatten with the back of a spatula. Repeat with the remaining mixture, cooking in batches. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden and crissp.

4. Transfer to plate lined with baking paper.

5. To make the dipping sauce, heat a fry pan with 1 tbsp oil and saute 1 garlic clove. Add garlic to yoghurt with the juice a lemon and stir to combine. Season with pepper.

6. Serve the fritters with the dipping sauce and a salad.
