Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sweet corn kernels
• 0.5 cup fresh coriander (cilantro), chopped
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 medium onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Grate the zucchini using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a bowl and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

Step 2

While the zucchini is resting, prepare the other ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the corn kernels, chopped coriander, finely diced onion, minced garlic, flour, baking powder, and ground cumin.

Step 3

After 10 minutes, use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze the grated zucchini and remove as much liquid as possible. Add the drained zucchini to the large bowl with the corn mixture.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and black pepper. Pour this wet mixture into the large bowl and mix everything well to form a thick batter. Adjust the consistency if needed by adding a little more milk (1-2 teaspoons) or flour.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter for each fritter and spoon it onto the skillet. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon to form a patty.

Step 6

Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet as needed and repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 7

Serve the fritters warm with a dollop of sour cream, yogurt, or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
