Method
- 1
Grate the zucchinis and squeeze out excess water thoroughly with your hands.
- 2
Whisk the eggs in a deep bowl, then add curd cheese, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and dill, mixing well.
- 3
Add the squeezed zucchinis into the liquid mixture.
- 4
Add the flour and baking powder, mixing gently until a homogenous batter is formed.
- 5
Distribute the mixture onto a greased baking sheet or muffin tins using a spoon.
- 6
Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (350F) for about 25 minutes until golden brown.
Note. Squeezing the water out of the zucchinis prevents sogginess and ensures a better texture.
Questions
What happens if you don't squeeze the zucchinis?
The zucchinis release too much water during baking, causing the fritters to remain soggy.
Can I use another cheese instead of curd cheese?
Yes, crumbled feta or cottage cheese will give a similar great result.
