Ingredients
- 4 cups shredded zucchini
- 2/3 cup maida
- 2 large eggs, beaten lightly
- 1/3 cup sliced spring onions

Preparation guide
- Place the shredded zucchini in a colander and sprinkle lightly with salt. Allow the zucchini to stand for 10 minutes. Using your hands, squeeze out as much liquid from the zucchini as possible. Transfer the zucchini to a large bowl.
- Add the flour, eggs, sliced onions, ¼ tsp salt and
tsp pepper, stirring until it’s mixed well. - Heat olive oil in a saucepan. Scoop 3 tbsp mounds of the zucchini mixture into the pan, pressing them lightly into rounds and spacing them at least 2 inches apart.
- Cook the zucchini fritters for 2 to 3 minutes, then flip them and cook an additional 2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat the scooping and cooking process with the remaining zucchini mix.
- Serve the zucchini fritters topped with sour cream (optional) and sliced spring onions.
