Method
Tap a step once you've finished it.
- Coarsely grate the courgette, mix with the salt, and let stand for 10 minutes.
- Wrap in a clean tea towel and squeeze out the liquid firmly; the drier it is, the crispier the fritters.
- In a bowl, mix the courgette with the spring onion, herbs, feta, eggs, flour, baking powder, pul biber and pepper.
- Heat a finger's depth of oil in a pan, and drop in small mounds with a tablespoon, flattening slightly.
- Fry over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden, then transfer to paper towel.
- Serve warm or at room temperature with garlic yoghurt.
