Ingredients

• Feta cheese - 100 grams, crumbled
• Fresh dill - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon

• Olive oil - 100 ml for frying

Steps

1. Grate the zucchini using a box grater and place it in a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out excess moisture.

5. Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
6. Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
7. In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with lemon juice and a pinch of salt to create a dipping sauce.
