Ingredients
Scale
- 1 zucchini, grated
- 2 potatoes, grated
- 1 carrot, grated
- 100g Suluguni cheese, grated
- Spring onion, chopped (to taste)
- 2 eggs
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Grate the zucchini, potatoes, and carrot. Once grated, place the vegetables in a clean towel and squeeze out any excess moisture to prevent soggy fritters.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated vegetables, grated Suluguni cheese, chopped spring onion, and eggs. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well until the mixture is evenly combined.
- Form Fritters: Heat a little oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Using a spoon, form small patties from the mixture and gently place them in the hot pan.
- Fry the Fritters: Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Drain and Serve: Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
- To avoid soggy fritters, ensure that you remove as much moisture as possible from the grated vegetables.
- You can substitute Suluguni cheese with mozzarella or feta for a different flavor.
- For a healthier version, you can bake the fritters in the oven instead of frying them. Place the fritters on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- If you prefer to make these fritters ahead of time, you can refrigerate the uncooked fritters for up to 24 hours or freeze them for longer storage.
