Tips and measures

Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchinis
  • 1 bunch fresh dill
  • 150 grams unsalted curd cheese (lor)
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 2 stalks green onions
  • Half teaspoon salt
  • Half teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Method

  1. Grate the zucchinis, squeeze out excess water with your hands, and place in a bowl.
  2. Add finely chopped dill and green onions to the zucchinis.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, curd cheese, flour, salt, black pepper, and baking powder.
  4. Pour the liquid mixture over the vegetables and gently mix.
  5. Portion the fritter batter with a spoon onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for about 25 minutes until golden brown.

Squeezing the zucchini water thoroughly prevents the fritters from falling apart and ensures a crisp texture.

FAQ

What happens if you don't squeeze the zucchini?

If you don't squeeze the water, the batter becomes too watery and the fritters may disintegrate while baking.

Can I use another cheese instead of curd cheese?

Yes, you can use crumbled feta cheese instead, but you should reduce the added salt.
