You may have tried to make zucchini fritters in the past and may have been disappointed… since they may turn out heavy or oily. With this recipe, I will let you in on all the secrets to help you make the crunchiest, most aromatic, delicious fritters ever!

Step 6

Line a large bowl with a thin kitchen towel.

Step 7

Grate the zucchini on to the towel in the bowl, using the large blades of the grater.

Step 8

Sprinkle with a generous amount of salt to help the zucchini release more moisture.

Step 9

Mix and squeeze the mixture with your hands.

Step 10

Wrap in the towel and squeeze very tightly in your hands to release as much liquid as possible.

Step 11

The less moisture the zucchini mixture has, the crunchier your fritters will become!

Step 12

Transfer from towel to a clean, dry bowl.

Step 13

Finely chop the green part of the spring onions.

Step 14

Finely chop the mint leaves, dill and basil and add them all to the bowl.

Step 15

Add the lime zest, cumin, chili flakes, crumbled feta and 2 eggs.

Step 16

Mix until all of the ingredients are completely combined.

Step 17

Add the flour and mix just to combine. Do not overmix.

Step 18

Place a nonstick pan over medium to high heat.

Step 19

Add 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil.

Step 20

Pick up spoonfuls of the mixture and carefully add them to the hot oil. Do not crowd your pan.

Step 21

Gently press down on the patties to spread them out a little.

Step 22

Fry on both sides until nice and golden, just like pancakes!

Step 23

When ready, transfer to a plate lined with paper towels so they can drain from excess oil.

Step 24

Repeat the same process until all of your mixture has turned in to crunchy fritters.

Step 27

For the sauce

Step 30

Combine the yogurt, honey, cumin, chili flakes, salt and freshly ground pepper in a bowl and your sauce is ready.

Step 31

Serve the zucchini fritters with the sauce and some lime wedges and don’t forget to sprinkle some finely chopped fresh coriander over everything!
