Delicious Indian-spiced fritters paired with flavorful herby yogurt and smoked salmon.
Ingredients:
  • 1000.00 ml (tightly packed) coarsely grated zucchini
  • 2.40 gm sea salt flakes
  • 75g (1/2 cup) plain flour
  • 50g (1/3 cup) grated parmesan
  • 62.50 ml thinly sliced green shallots, plus extra, sliced, to serve
  • 2 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • Vegetable oil, to shallow fry
  • 300g sliced smoked salmon
  • Fresh mint leaves, to serve
  • Lemon wedges, to serve
  • 260g (1 cup) Greek-style yoghurt
  • 125.00 ml chopped fresh coriander leaves
  • 125.00 ml fresh mint leaves
  • 1 small garlic clove
  • 42.00 gm fresh lemon juice
  • 0.60 gm sea salt flakes
Instructions:
  • For the coriander mint yogurt, simply blend all ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Chill in a bowl in the fridge until serving.
  • Drain the zucchini in a colander, mix in the salt thoroughly, and let it rest for 10 minutes. Squeeze out any excess moisture with your hands.
  • Place the zucchini on a clean tea towel and firmly twist to remove excess liquid. Transfer zucchini to a large bowl and add eggs, flour, parmesan, shallot, garam masala, and turmeric. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  • 1. Preheat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat and add enough oil to cover the pan by about 1cm depth. Proceed by spooning 1⁄4 cupfuls of the mixture into the pan in batches. Flatten the mixture into rounds about 1cm thick using the back of a spoon. Cook each side for about 2 minutes until they turn deep golden and begin to crisp at the edges. Finally, transfer the cooked rounds to a plate lined with paper towel.
  • Transfer the rosti onto individual serving plates. Drizzle with the flavorful coriander mint yogurt, then layer with salmon, fresh mint, and additional shallots. Serve alongside lemon wedges.
