Steps

1

Squeeze zucchini with hands as much as you can to remove all excess liquid. Discard liquid.
2

In a large bowl mix together zucchini, green chilis, ginger,parsley,salt and baking powder.
3

Heat enough oil to deep fry in a deep fryer or deep welled skillet or wok until hot.
4

While oil is heating add the flour to the zucchini mix and knead until sticky and moldable. If too loose add more flour.
5

NOTE: as mixture sits the zucchini will continue to make liquid so add flour as needed between batches of frying.
6

Mold into 1/2 tbl sized balls (about 25 total)
7

When oil reaches 355°F slip about 6 balls at a time into hot oil. Seperate them as they float together so they dont stick.
8

Fry until deep golden and crunchy.
9

Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain for a moment.
10

Transfer to a warm serving dish and keep warm. Repeat until all balls are cooked.
11

Serve with my indian tomato gravy or marinara sauce.
