Step 1

Use a food processor or a box grater to coarsely grate the zucchini, haloumi and onion. Transfer to a large bowl. Stir in the mint. Make a well in the centre and add the egg. Lightly whisk the egg. Add the flour and stir well to combine.

Step 2

Pour enough oil to come one-third up the side of a wok. Place over high heat. Heat to 170C on a cook’s thermometer. Use hands to shape 1/3 cup zucchini mixture into a fritter. Add to the oil. Repeat to make 3 more fritters. Deep-fry the fritters, turning halfway, for 4 minutes or until fritters are golden and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Repeat, in 2 more batches, with the remaining mixture to make 12 fritters.

Step 3

Transfer the fritters to a serving platter. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes and cumin. Top with mint leaves. Serve with tzatziki.
