Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup grated vegetables (zucchini, carrot, potato, or corn)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1 egg (or flax egg for vegan option)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (or chickpea flour for gluten-free)
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp paprika or chili flakes (optional)
  • 2–3 tbsp fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, or dill)
  • Oil for shallow frying

Instructions
 

  • Prep the veggies
    Grate vegetables and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean cloth or paper towel.
  • Make the batter
    In a mixing bowl, combine grated veggies, onion, garlic, egg, flour, baking powder, herbs, salt, and spices. Mix until it forms a thick batter.
  • Heat oil
    Place a skillet or frying pan on medium heat and add 2–3 tbsp oil.
  • Fry fritters
    Scoop a spoonful of batter, drop into the pan, and flatten slightly. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  • Drain & serve
    Remove fritters and place on paper towels to absorb extra oil.
  • Enjoy
    Serve hot with yogurt dip, sour cream, or a spicy sauce.
