Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 1 large Carrot
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 2 stalks Scallions
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 cup Water
- as needed Oil for frying
Instructions
Grate the zucchinis and carrot using a box grater. Squeeze out the excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel and place in a large mixing bowl.
Finely dice the red bell pepper and chop the scallions. Mince the garlic cloves. Add these vegetables to the mixing bowl with the grated zucchini and carrot.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, eggs, baking powder, salt, black pepper, cumin powder, and paprika. Gradually add water to form a smooth batter.
Pour the batter over the vegetables in the mixing bowl and gently fold everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the vegetable batter into the skillet, flattening each slightly with the back of a spoon.
Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the skillet and work in batches if necessary.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the fritters warm, perhaps with a side of herb yogurt or other preferred dipping sauce.
