Calories are an editor’s estimate per serving, not a lab measurement.

Method

  1. 1

    Grate the zucchinis and squeeze out excess water thoroughly with your hands.

  2. 2

    Whisk the eggs in a deep bowl, then add curd cheese, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and dill, mixing well.

  3. 3

    Add the squeezed zucchinis into the liquid mixture.

  4. 4

    Add the flour and baking powder, mixing gently until a homogenous batter is formed.

  5. 5

    Distribute the mixture onto a greased baking sheet or muffin tins using a spoon.

  6. 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.
