Ingredients

Kabak Mucver (Zucchini Fritters)

600 gram zucchini

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup fresh dill, chopped (stalks and all)

2 eggs, slightly beaten

90 gram self-raising flour

olive oil, for frying

Yoghurt sauce

1 cup strained yoghurt

1/4 bunch fresh dill, chopped

1/2 clove garlic, crushed

60 millilitre water

salt and white pepper, to taste

Method

1.Grate the zucchini and place in a bowl with the salt. This will draw the water out to make the batter. Leave for at least 1 hour.

2.Add the eggs and flour, mix until combined but do not over work. It should remain a fairly thin batter, but add more flour if necessary. Let rest for 20 minutes, until thickened.

3.Meanwhile, make yoghurt sauce: whisk all ingredients together and let sit for 30 minutes.

4.Heat the olive oil to 175°C. Dip a dessert spoon into the hot oil to quickly coat, then spoon the batter; place in the deep fryer. The oil will help the batter slip off easily. Cook until golden, then flip over to cook on the other side. Drain and serve with yoghurt sauce.

You may need to use more self-raising flour, depending on the amount of moisture in the fritters. Add enough flour until they are thickened.
