Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 Tsp Turmeric - OPTIONAL - for the rich golden color
1/4 Tsp Coriander Powder
1/4 Tsp Cumin Powder
1/4 Tsp Baking Soda - optional - gives a great crisp
1/4 Tsp Red Chili Powder - optional
1 Tsp Salt - use as per taste
2 Large Zucchini - thinly sliced
1/2 Cup Chickpea Flour or Besan
1/4 Cup Rice Flour - any kind
1/4 Cup Water - for the batter
2 Cups Oil for Deep Frying

Steps:

In a large bowl, whisk chickpea flour, rice flour, turmeric, baking soda, cayenne pepper and water to form a smooth batter (It will be slightly thin).
Add the sliced zucchini to the batter.
Heat 2 cups of oil in a large frying pan.
Once the oil is hot, start adding the batter dipped zucchini (one by one) to the pan.
Keep the heat medium and let the zucchini evenly cook on the side down.
Turn the zucchini fritters to the other side and let them cook. (It's upto you how much crisp n browned you like the fritters.)
As soon as they are cooked on each side and the color is nice golden brown, transfer the fried fritters to a plate lined with kitchen towel/any napkin (to soak any excess oil).
Fry all the zucchini fritters similarly and serve fresh with your choice of ketchup/sauce/dip or use this Cilantro Green Chutney
