  • 100 g Jeera
  • 100 g Red Chili Powder

Instructions

  1. 1. Wash and grate the zucchinis, then place them in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out excess moisture and transfer the grated zucchini to a mixing bowl.
  2. 2. Add chickpea flour, rice flour, finely chopped green chili, cumin seeds, asafoetida, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt to the bowl. Mix well to form a thick batter. No additional water should be needed as the zucchini provides sufficient moisture.

  4. 4. In a small bowl, combine plant-based yogurt, chopped mint leaves, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to create the mint yogurt dip.
  5. 5. Serve the hot zucchini fritters with the mint yogurt dip on the side for a comforting and flavorful snack.
