VEGAN ZUCCHINI FRITTERS | COURGETTE FRITTERS

Indian Pakora’s are absolutely delicious and we use Chickpeas flour as the binding agent for the pakora’s.  Keeping the basics simple, I created a simple batter with grated zucchini, corn and other ingredients and waited for a couple of minutes until flour absorbs all the moisture from zucchini.  In the meanwhile, heat the skillet in a medium flame. When you see a thick batter, scoop out a portion and place in on the skillet and cook on either side for 4-5 minutes until you see golden fritters.

VEGAN ZUCCHINI FRITTERS INGREDIENTS

Zucchini is also known as courgette/ summer squash in UK. Primary ingredients for these vegan fritters. We grate them through a coarse grater and set it aside. Since they have 95% water content, we require to handle them carefully. Some prefer to squeeze out the zucchini to remove the water content, but I like to retain the nutrients in my powerhouse vegetable. So instead of squeezing the water out, I like to add my flour to the ingredients and let them absorb the water.

Corn adds a lot of body to the fritters. Guess Zucchini and Corn are great match for fritters.

Garlic lends flavour to the fritters/ patty. I have added minced garlic in this recipe but we could also add garlic powder as an alternative.

Onions

Mixed Herbs add a delicious flavour. You can use dried herbs separately as well like dried parsley, dried oregano etc.

Cumin Powder

Salt & Pepper

Chickpeas flour also known as Besan is naturally gluten free. They works a great binding agent in the fritters. If you like to crisp the fritters further more, add a few tablespoons of rice flour { but then it will not be gluten free fritter. }

HOW TO MAKE ZUCCHINI FRITTERS STEP BY STEP

1.To prepare Zucchini fritters, place the all the ingredients in the bowl, stir to combine.

2.Allow the fritter batter to rest for a couple of minutes, say 10 minutes until the flour absorbs all he moisture. If you feel the batter is a bit too soggy, add some more chickpeas flour – 1 tablespoon at a time.

3.Heat oil in a skillet pan. Using an ice cream scooper or a large ladle, scoop out the batter and place it on the heated skillet. 4.& 5.Cook the fritters on low – medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.  Do not cook the fritters on high heat, as the fritters will come out uncooked in the middle.

6. Drain the fritters on a kitchen towel to absorb any extra oil.

The other alternative way to make is Baked Zucchini Fritters & Air fryer Zucchini Fritters.

Baked Zucchini Fritters  –  Heat the oven to 180 C. Place the scooped fritters on a lined baking sheet. Spray with oil and bake for 20-25 minutes, turning in between.  Keep an eye on the fritters as you do not want to burn them.

Airfryer Zucchini Fritters – Preheat the air fryer at 200 C for 4 minutes. Line the basket with parchment paper and brush oil. Place 4 of zucchini fritter batters into the airfryer basket and fry for 15 minutes / 200C, turning in between.

      I am not sure about the flaxseed meal. But you can use plain flour instead. Although the texture will be different.
