The fritters do look nice though!

Dh has taken to buying courgettes by the truckload because he wanted me to try making courgette gratin as opposed to potato gratin. It was nice actually. I did a thin layer of potato then a layer of overlapping courgette, another sparse layer of potato and then plenty of overlapping courgette again, added a few blobs of marg, half a crumbled cube of stock, a bit of cream and some water and covered and baked and then grated over cheese at the last minute. Even the kids liked it and they're not usually into courgette.

Assalaamu Alaykum,

I'm trying to keep a grease-free kitchen this Ramadan and baked some samosas the other day (with a little oil on them - not as much as deep-frying!)

About courgettes, you could always make a chocolate cake with 'em! Seriously!

Grease free inshaAllah we get it! Yes Muffins too i saw te recipce after ramadan though as noone eats cake during ramandan unless its kalbaloss and i am not making that!

there are a couple of good and easy recepts for zuccini:

hot cakes: just make a liquid mass out of flour, a little bit of baking power, a little bit of milk, one egg and some parsley and onion very thinly choped.
it must finish with the consistence of a thick liquid mass. Put the zuchhinis cut in slices and deep fry in very hot olive oil.

zuchhini farsi... cut in two the zucchini like they are boats and boils in salted wated carefully until they are cooked but firm.
empty the inside leaving quite a lot of the edible partand fill it with a thikz bolognese sauce made out minced meat, tomate sauce, onion and garlic (with the spices you like more...). Once cooked you can add to it the "meat" of the zucchini you have left after having emptied them
put them in aa an oven tray and pour some bechamel over them and over it some grated cheese and grill in the oven.
