Zucchini in batter with cheese in a frying pan

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make zucchini in batter with cheese in a frying pan? To prepare the batter, pour kefir into a deep bowl. Kefir can be of any fat content, but the taste and thickness of the batter will depend on this. I have 3.2%. Add dried garlic (it definitely won’t burn in the pan, unlike fresh), salt and hot ground pepper.

2. STEP 2

   

   Grate the cheese on a fine grater. The cheese for this batter needs to have a sharp, pronounced taste, since the taste of the finished dish will mainly depend on the batter. Mix the batter.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add most of the whole wheat flour to the bowl. Stir and evaluate the consistency of the batter. It should be thick, but not steep. Leave the rest of the flour aside for now to adjust the thickness of the batter later.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash young zucchini under running water. Cut off the ends on both sides and cut the vegetables into circles. The thickness of the slices will depend on what degree of doneness you want the zucchini to be: crispy or completely soft. I chose about a centimeter thick and my zucchini was crispy inside. Accordingly, for almost one hundred percent softness, you should choose a thickness of about half a centimeter.

5. STEP 5

   

   Using a fork, dip the first round of zucchini into the batter. It seemed to me that my batter was too liquid, so I added more flour. Everything will depend on the gluten properties of the individual flour. Focus on the consistency of the batter. It should be good and in sufficient quantity! stick to the zucchini, otherwise what's the point?

6. STEP 6

   

   Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Pour in sunflower oil and process it. Whatever one may say, there should be enough oil; it will determine whether you get a crispy cheese crust or whether the zucchini sticks to the bottom. I poured about 3 mm. oils for each batch. Fry the first training zucchini circles over medium heat for a minute until golden brown.

7. STEP 7

   

   Then fry the zucchini on the other side for another minute and a half until done. How to choose a frying pan and oil for frying, read articles on these topics. Links at the end of this recipe.

8. STEP 8

   

   To remove excess oil, place the finished zucchini in cheese batter on paper towels in one layer so that the crust does not become soggy. Fry all the zucchini in the same way.

During the season of young zucchini, I want to cook more different dishes from them. This time we have zucchini in batter with cheese in a frying pan for dinner. It's even more interesting than just frying. And much more satisfying too! I cut young zucchini into pucks 1 cm wide or slightly thicker. I like the zucchini to be crunchy. I decided to add a little salt to the circles, and so that the juice would not prevent the batter from sticking, I blotted them with a paper towel. You can also roll it in flour. I took the author’s advice into account and kneaded the batter thicker. I added paprika, dried dill and garlic to it. It was the fresh garlic that gave such an appetizing aroma and taste to the batter. I tried to dip the zucchini so that there was a lot of cheese on it. After all, when fried, you get such a golden-brown cheese crust! These zucchini are delicious while the batter is still hot and crispy! But the chilled zucchini was also delicious in the morning, especially with sour cream.
