Grate the zucchini, salt it, let it stand for 10 minutes, then squeeze out its water.
Add the eggs, flour, chopped dill, and crumbled cheese, then mix.
Gather the sauce from the edges toward the center of the pan so it does not scorch on the bottom.
Spoon the mixture into the hot oil and fry both sides.
After removing it from the heat, let it stand for 3 minutes so the hot sauce does not spread watery on the plate.
For serving, spoon the thick sauce from the pan over the ingredient.
💡 Tip: Squeeze the zucchini very thoroughly; removing the water is essential for crisp fritters.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with haydari or plain yogurt.
