But why do you fry the courgettes in that batter that makes them soggy? Halve the flour, add this and see how light it becomes
Now I only make zucchini with this special batter, not the one with beer or eggs: try it and see how crunchy and light it is!
Forget about mushy, bland courgettes, I now have legions of admirers of my fried food; even the neighbours, as soon as they smell it, knock on my door and ask for a portion.
I have to say that I'm satisfied with frying when the end result is so delicious and, to be honest, even in summer, accompanying meals with a side dish like this is much better than chips!
It takes very little time and yet the result is amazing: this is the secret of the best fry shops.
Far from Italian-style fried food, this recipe will put you in contention for first place in the family cookbook. Try it, and you'll see you'll use the same trick with everything you fry from now on. It's guaranteed to be delicious, and it's super easy!

Making crispy courgettes in a very light batter
To make this dish, start by pouring the flours into a bowl: mix well, then add a pinch of salt. Then, gradually add the ice water, stirring quickly with a whisk until you obtain a smooth, consistent batter. Cover the batter with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use. Meanwhile, thoroughly wash and dry the zucchini. Trim the ends, then quarter them lengthwise and pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Now, take a large saucepan, fill it with seed oil, and bring to frying temperature. Take the batter, give it a good stir, and begin dipping the zucchini in it, shaking off any excess. Lower them deep into the boiling oil and fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove them with a slotted spoon when they're ready and drain them on paper towels until they're completely dry. Add a pinch of salt and, if you like, some finely chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately. You can serve them with a homemade sauce or even mayonnaise, but even plain, they're absolutely delicious!
