Zucchini fritter with curd cheese is a Turkish-style mücver: grated zucchini mixed with curd cheese, egg and usually some flour, then cooked in a pan. Herbs such as dill, parsley or scallions are common additions, with the exact mix varying from one home kitchen to another.
The outside turns lightly golden while the centre stays tender. In Turkey, it may be served warm for breakfast, with tea, or alongside yoghurt; cooled fritters also work well as part of a meze spread or a packed lunch. The curd cheese and egg give it some protein, at 8.1 g per 100 g. For a lighter plate, cook with less oil and pair it with plain yoghurt and a crisp salad.

Make zucchini fritters with curd cheese by mixing grated zucchini with curd cheese, egg, flour, and seasoning, then cooking spoonfuls in a pan until golden on both sides. Drain excess liquid from the zucchini first so the mixture holds together.
Zucchini fritters with curd cheese often fall apart when the mixture is too wet or is turned before it has set. Squeeze excess liquid from the grated zucchini, make sure the mixture is thick enough to shape, and let each side brown before flipping.
Yes, you can bake zucchini fritters with curd cheese instead of frying them. Arrange small portions on a lined baking tray and bake until set and browned, turning them once if needed for more even coloring.
You can replace curd cheese in zucchini fritters with crumbled feta or another soft, mild cheese. Feta is saltier, so taste the mixture before adding extra salt; a wetter cheese may also make the batter looser.
Zucchini fritters with curd cheese go well with plain or garlicky yogurt, a crisp salad, or roasted vegetables. For a light lunch, serve them with greens and a lemon dressing.
Store leftover zucchini fritters with curd cheese in a covered container in the refrigerator once they have cooled. Reheat them in a pan or oven until hot throughout; this helps restore a firmer exterior better than microwaving.
Yes, cooked zucchini fritters with curd cheese can be frozen. Cool them completely, separate the pieces with baking paper, and seal them in a freezer-safe container; thaw and reheat thoroughly before serving.
Yes, zucchini fritters with curd cheese can be cooked in an air fryer. Shape the mixture into small patties, place them in a single layer, and cook until browned and firm, turning them partway through.
Zucchini fritters with curd cheese can be served hot, warm, or at room temperature. They are especially tasty soon after cooking, but also work chilled as part of a packed lunch or picnic.
It is better to mix zucchini fritter batter with curd cheese shortly before cooking. Grated zucchini releases water as it sits, which can thin the batter and make the fritters harder to shape and brown.
