Ingredients

  • 4 mini zucchini (or Lebanese summer squash), peeled and grated
  • 1 carrot , peeled and grated
  • 3 eggs
  • 4 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 prigs Dill , chopped
  • ½ teaspoon red chilli flakes
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3 oz. feta cheese , crumbled (optional)
  • vegetable oil (for frying)
Equipment
  • cheesecloth

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the grated squash in cheesecloth and wring out well.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and add all the other ingredients (except the vegetable oil).
  3. In a frying pan, heat a large quantity of oil and, once it is hot, add small portions of the mixture to it using two tablespoons.
  4. Fry on both sides over medium to high heat so that the fritters are evenly browned. To do this, grasp the pan by the handle, and make slight rotary movements of the wrist so that the hot oil covers all the edges of the donuts and the top, and thus the cooking is uniform.
  5. Using a skimmer, remove the mücver from the oil and place in a dish lined with paper towel.
  6. Serve hot or warm with a yogurt sauce.
