Ingredients

  • 1 Zucchini (shredded)
  • cup Chickpea flour(besan)
  • 2 tbsps Rice flour
  • ¼ Onion (chopped)
  • 1 green chili (chopped)

Spice powders

  • ¾ tsp Kashmiri Chili powder
  • Salt to taste
  • ¼ tsp turmeric powder
  • ¼ tsp cumin powder
  • ¼ tsp chaat masala powder

Instructions

  • Grate zucchini, sprinkle salt over it, and let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Chop up the onion, green chili, and cilantro.
  • In a bowl, add the chickpea flour, rice flour, and spice powders. Mix with a whisk.
  • Squeeze out all the water from the zucchini and put it into the bowl with the dry mixture.
  • Add onions, chili, and cilantro.
  • Now pour around ⅓ cup of water and mix gently with a wooden spoon or spatula.
  • Your mixture should not be too thin nor too thick. The consistency should be a little thicker than pancake batter. Add a little more water if required.
  • Heat oil in a pan, when hot, add a spoonful of the mixture. Flatten it to make fritters. I made four at a time keeping the flame on medium heat.
  • Fry till golden brown on both sides. Drain them on a paper towel.
  • Serve these fritters hot with ketchup, Sriracha, or a yogurt dip.
