Ingredients

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1

    Toss grated zucchini with half the salt and leave in a colander for 10 minutes. Squeeze very firmly in a clean towel.

  2. 2

    Mix zucchini, corn, eggs, flour, and scallions until a thick batter forms.

  3. 3

    Combine yogurt, dill, and the remaining salt in a separate bowl.

  4. 4

    Heat a thin layer of oil in a wide pan. Spoon in small mounds, flatten gently, and cook for 3 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Drain briefly on a rack and serve hot with the dill yogurt.

Cooking Tips

  • A rack preserves the crisp underside better than stacking fritters on a plate.
  • Make a test fritter first and add a spoonful of flour if it spreads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I prepare zucchini and corn breakfast fritters ahead?

Prepare components in advance where practical, but use the final cooking and resting steps for the best texture. Cool perishable ingredients promptly and store them covered in the refrigerator.

How should I adjust the seasoning?

A rack preserves the crisp underside better than stacking fritters on a plate. Taste near the end and make small adjustments rather than adding a large amount at once.
