  • Dab the top of the zucchini with another towel to get rid of the excess moisture. Alternatively, put zucchini in cheesecloth and squeeze out excess moisture for best way to get it out. Add zucchini to a large bowl along with the egg, lemon juice, dill, baking powder, cumin and pepper.

  • Add three to four more fritters to the pan and let them cook until they become golden brown on the bottom, about 3 minutes.
