Method
 

Preparation
  1. Grate the zucchinis and sprinkle them with salt. Let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture, then squeeze out excess water.
Batter Mixing
  1. In a bowl, combine the grated zucchini, flour, cornmeal, black pepper, garlic powder, egg, and herbs. Mix until well combined.
Cooking
  1. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the oil, flattening slightly. Fry until golden brown on both sides.
Making the Dipping Sauce
  1. In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt to make the dipping sauce.
Serving
  1. Serve the fritters warm with the creamy garlic dipping sauce.

Notes

Ensure that the zucchini is properly drained to prevent soggy fritters. Use a cast-iron skillet or a non-stick pan for the best frying results. Don’t overcrowd the pan; fry in batches to allow even cooking. Add different herbs or spices to the mixture for unique flavors. Experiment with different dipping sauces for varied tastes.
