As I am keen on preparing oil less recipes for Ifthar, I decided to prepare zucchini fritters today. It is a versatile recipe, as it can be served as appetizer, side dish or snacks. It is the best way to get the kids to eat their veggies. It is unbelievably easy to make and low in calorie & best to way to enjoy the day.

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup shredded Zucchini

1 big or 2 medium sized potatoes, boiled & mashed

¾ cup grated carrot

1 onion, chopped

3 green chilies, finely chopped

½ teaspoon black pepper powder

4 to 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 egg

Few coriander leaves, finely chopped

Salt to taste

Oil for Shallow frying

INSTRUCTIONS:

Place the shredded zucchini in a bowl and sprinkle little salt. Allow it to stand for 10 min. Using your hands, squeeze out as much liquid from zucchini as possible. Transfer the zucchini to a larger bowl.

Add the mashed potatoes, grated carrots, onion, egg, green chilies, coriander leaves, pepper powder, salt and all purpose flour. Mix well until everything is combined.

Heat the dosa tava and grease it with oil.  Once heated, scoop 2-tablespoons mounds of the zucchini mixture into the pan, pressing them lightly into rounds and spacing them at least 2 inches apart.

Cook each sides for 2 to 3 min until it is browned and cooked throughout. Remove the zucchini fritters and drain on paper towel. Repeat the scooping and cooking process with remaining mixture.

Serve the zucchini fritters with hot sauce or sour cream.
