Courgette-Herb Fritters with Garlic Yoghurt

Ingredients for Courgette-Herb Fritters with Garlic Yoghurt

• 120ml plain yoghurt (not Greek)

• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint

• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 teaspoon honey

• 1 garlic clove, finely grated

• Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

• 2 small courgette, ends trimmed

• 1 small russet potato, peeled

• 1/2 medium onion

• 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more

• 2 large eggs, beaten to blend

• 1 garlic clove, finely grated

• 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin

• 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley, plus more for serving

• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint, plus more for serving

• Freshly ground black pepper

• 40g plain flour

• 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

• 120ml vegetable oil

• Olive oil (for serving)

Mix yoghurt, mint, lemon juice, oil, honey, and garlic in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Cover; chill.

Grate courgette, potato, and onion on the large holes of a box grater. Transfer to a mesh sieve set over a bowl and toss with 2 teaspoons salt. Let vegetables sit until they release their liquid, 30–40 minutes.

Mix eggs, garlic, cumin, 3 tablespoons parsley, and 2 tablespoons mint in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper.

Gather up half of courgette mixture in a kitchen towel; squeeze out excess liquid. Add to bowl with egg mixture and repeat with remaining courgette mixture. Sprinkle flour and baking powder over; mix gently.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Working in batches, spoon scoops of mixture into skillet, flattening gently with a spatula. Cook until golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack; season with salt. Drizzle yoghurt sauce with olive oil and top with more herbs; serve alongside warm fritters.
