Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sweet corn kernels
- 0.5 cup fresh coriander (cilantro), chopped
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 medium onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Grate the zucchini using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a bowl and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
While the zucchini is resting, prepare the other ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the corn kernels, chopped coriander, finely diced onion, minced garlic, flour, baking powder, and ground cumin.
After 10 minutes, use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze the grated zucchini and remove as much liquid as possible. Add the drained zucchini to the large bowl with the corn mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and black pepper. Pour this wet mixture into the large bowl and mix everything well to form a thick batter. Adjust the consistency if needed by adding a little more milk (1-2 teaspoons) or flour.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter for each fritter and spoon it onto the skillet. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon to form a patty.
Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet as needed and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the fritters warm with a dollop of sour cream, yogurt, or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
