• For Fritters:
• ½ of each green & yellow Zucchini (approx 250 gms weighed together)
• 3-4 cloves of garlic
• 2 green chilies
• 4 small spring onions , fine diced along with just 2 inches of greens
• Ginger
• 1 tablespoon corn flour
• 1 and ½ tablespoon all purpose flour
• Brown bread crumbs
• 1 egg, well beaten
• Hard Cheddar
• Salt
• Olive oil for frying
• For the dip:
• Hung curd
• Salt
• Sugar
• I burnt garlic , crushed
• Lemon juice

Grate both yellow and green zucchini together using the large hole of the garter.

Add ½ teaspoon of salt and mix well. Now remove all the excess water from the grated Zucchini by either wringing in a cotton cloth or pressing against a colander or simply hard press between the palms of your hand together.

Take this water drained Zucchini in a bowl and add spring onions, a little grated ginger. Crush garlic and green chili together using a mortar & pestle and add to the mixture.

Mix well and check if it needs more salt, do add some more.
Now add both the flour and make mix together into a thick Zucchini batter. Finally grate a lot of Cheddar, about 2 small cubes and mix well into the batter.

Divide the batter into eight equal parts and make rectangular shaped fritters of each bunch by molding over your palm and shaping with fingers.

Carefully pick each fritter and first dip into the beaten egg and then generously roll into the bread crumbs spread in a flat plate. If the shape gets distorted while doing this do not panic, simply place it on a plate sprinkled with some bread crumbs and re-shape using your hands.

Once all the fritters are finally covered in bread crumbs, cover the plate with Cling Film and freeze for about 20 minutes. You can totally fry it immediately and serve, but freezing helps retain the shape as it hardens the fritters.
