Courgettes in Batter

Crisp and delicious, you could make a double batch of these fritters for a party platter.

Good with a little dish of your favourite dipping sauce, such as a sweet chilli sauce, tomato ketchup, barbecue sauce or a mixture of soy sauce and vinegar. These bite-sized fritters are delicious as an appetizer and also make a good side dish to grilled or fried white fish or chicken.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Stir the yeast into 250ml (8fl oz) warm water in a small bowl and set aside for 10 minutes, or until foamy.


  2. 2

    Combine the flour with salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl and make a well in the centre. Pour the yeast liquid into the well and gradually incorporate the flour to form a batter.


  3. 3

    Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok over a medium heat. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, dip the courgette slices in the batter and fry them for 5 minutes on each side, or until golden.


  4. 4

    Drain the fried courgette slices on kitchen paper and sprinkle with salt. Transfer to a heated serving dish and serve immediately.
