Instructions

How to make the zucchini batter:

  1. Place all the batter ingredients in a bowl. Use a hand whisk to mix, making sure there are no lumps in the mixture.
  2. Cut the zucchini into rounds. 0.5 cm (1/4 inch) thick.

To coat the zucchini:

  1. Place the 300 g/1 ¼ cup of flour in a bowl. Dredge the zucchini rounds in the flour and tap to remove any excess.
  2. Then, dip each round into the the batter mixture and coat completely.
  3. Add to the hot oil when ready. Repeat the same process for all of the zucchini rounds.
  4. Place a pot over medium to high heat and let it get hot. Then add some sunflower oil.
  5. As soon as it gets hot, add the battered zucchini and fry until golden. When ready, remove with a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil.

How to make the Greek yogurt sauce:

  1. Put the heavy cream and the zest and juice from the lime in a mixer bowl. Season with salt and pepper and beat until the mixture is combined and has a velvety texture.
  2. Serve the crispy, battered zucchini rounds with the yogurt sauce, sprinkled with some fresh or dried dill. You can also serve the deep fried zucchinis with a side tzatziki.

Notes
