ZUCCHINI FRITTERS with CHILI LIME MAYO DIPPING SAUCE

 Ingredients:
vegetable oil for frying
3 cups grated zucchini
1 cup diced onion
2 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Dipping sauce:
1 cup prepared mayo
juice of half a lime
1/2 tsp chili powder

Start by pouring the vegetable oil in the skillet so that it's half an inch deep, turn the heat to medium. Meantime, combined the zucchini, onion, and eggs in a large bowl, stir to combine. It will get all frothy.

Next, combine the flour, baking powder, 1/2 tsp. of chili powder, salt, and pepper in a small mixing bowl, stir to combine. To finish the batter, add the dry ingredients to the zucchini mixture and fold together until well blended.

To test the oil, dip a spoon into the batter then dip the spoon into the oil. Once the oil bubbles when it comes in contact with the batter, it's hot enough.

Drop the batter into the oil by the heaping tablespoon, frying about six fritters at a time. Cook for 2-3 minutes a side. Once the centers were firm, remove fritters from the oil and let them drain on a paper towel.

To make the dip, simply combined the prepared mayo, lime juice, and chili powder in a small bowl and whisk together until well blended.
