Bell pepper reduces heat while maintaining flavor.

Grate the zucchini and place in a colander to drain excess moisture for 15 minutes.

In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper.

Add the drained zucchini to the dry mixture and mix well.

Incorporate finely chopped herbs, garlic, and onion into the mixture.

Add water gradually until a thick batter forms, adjusting for consistency.

Stir in lemon juice and chopped chili pepper for flavor.

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Scoop tablespoonfuls of the batter and carefully drop them into the hot oil.

Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serve hot with a dipping sauce or yogurt.
