Steps:
- Grate Zucchini (2 medium) and Potato (1 medium ) using the large side of a box grater. Squeeze out excess water using hands (or bundle up tea towel).
- To a large bowl, add grated and squeezed Zucchini, Potatoes, diced Onion (1 small), Chickpea Flour (1 cup), Baking powder (1 tsp), Garlic powder (½ tsp), Salt (1 tsp), Black Pepper (¼ tsp) and Water (⅓ cup). Mix to form a thick fritter batter.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and lightly wipe the pan with oil. Place spoonfuls of fritter batter into the pan and cook until lightly browned for about 5 minutes, flip and cook the second side. If fritters are browning too quickly, turn the heat down slightly.
- Transfer on a paper towel to soak up excess oil. Repeat with the remaining batter. Make sure to not overcrowd the pan with fritters.
- Allow them to cool down a little and set as they are fragile when hot. Served topped with sour cream, chopped chives and dill or yogurt seasoned with garlic, lemon and pepper.
