Ingredients

  1. 2 cupcoarse shredded seedless zucchini
  2. 1/2 tspground ginger
  3. 2 tbspdried parsley flakes
  4. 1 tspsalt
  5. 1/2 tspbaking powder
  6. 1 cupall-purpose flour
  7. 1hot green chili, seeded and minced.
  8. 1veggie oil for deep frying

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

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

  4. 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. 5

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

  6. 6

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

  7. 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. 8

    Fry until deep golden and crunchy.

  9. 9

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

  10. 10

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