    These were fantastic and a great and easy way of using some of the courgettes we managed to grow this year .

    My hubbie really loved these, they were a bit eggy for me (but I don't like egg so I should have known!), I was surprised at how well they held together as they cooked and it is a tasty way to eat courgettes. I thought the recipe made rather a lot for four though.

    Amazing! But it took longer than 25 minutes to make them, because there were a lot of them to fry. But it was well worth the extra time!

    I cook the mix tortilla-like: in only one piece. Delicious!

    Very tasty! Hint - before adding the grated courgette to the mixture I squeezed it to remove too much liquid and keep the fritters drier.

    I thought these were very bland and am sorry to say they went in the bin.

    Good Summer evening / tea time light meal. We had apple, celery, pumpkin seed salad with yoghurt dressing too. The mint in the salsa was gorgeous. Fresh tasting, lovely food

    I loved these fritters. Very simple to make and delicious. My husband and I also had them cold for lunch the next day. I did add some Paprika and Cumin powder to the recipe just to give it an extra edge.

    Was a bit unsure when I saw how wet the mixture was but they turned out perfectly. Easy to make and delicious hot or cold. We had them with a mixed salad added to the salsa.

    I'm making these now - sort of. I grated 1 courgette, 1/2 carrot, about 1/3 of a red onion, added flour by eye, about a tablespoon of beaten egg and some mild curry powder. I quickly fried one just to see if the mixture would hold - it does but needed more seasoning. About to make the main batch, so will report back.

    These were yummy - see my comment above as to how I made them. I think there is some improvements to be made, and when I have experimented more I will post an improved recipe on this site!

    cooked the original recipe and even my gran who is 91 loved them. Cooked them again but changed the recipe by adding 6 rashers of crispy cooked bacon pieces. 2 tbsp grated parmesan 1 tbsp olive oil and an extra ounce of s/r flour. Left out red chilli and cumin. Cooked in a little sunflower oil. Re heated for grans and the childrens lunch in the oven for a few minutes served with spaggetti hoops. a winner all round.

    Really easy and they held together. Just like doing pancakes. Would add some seasoning to the batter. Fantastic with the feta salsa.

    Very nice and easy to make. Adapted slightly and did courgette and potatoe as I don't have a glut of courgettes. Also added paprika and the veggie version of worcester sauce. Served with chilli jam - recipe on here, delish!

    these were lovely! Definitely squeeze out the liquid before adding the grated courgette (as suggested here). So good that my partner changed his mind about hating courgettes. Nice cold with spinach raita too.
