- 1–2 green chilies, minced (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup (125 grams) flour
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- Salt, to taste
- ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 tablespoon oil (for frying, more as needed)
Instructions

- Grate the zucchini and carrot. If using, finely chop the onion and garlic, and add them to a large mixing bowl with the shredded veggies. Stir in the minced green chilies.
- Mix the Batter:
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, ground pepper, salt, and turmeric until smooth.
