...nice to know, every summer there is always an oversupply of zucchini.

Jo said...

Lovely. Courgette recipes are always good as there's always a glut when you grow your own.

Yum.

Looks so good!

Lisa said...

I made sweetcorn fritters once, they weren't very well received, but that could have had more to do with my cooking!
Have a great weekend.

This looks like a wonderful healthy dish! I imagine you can make it without the psyllium husk powder if you wish. Thank you for another nice dish. ♥

Elephant's Child said...

YUM. Big yum. I make something similiar without the psyllium husk - what does it add to the recipe?

William Kendall said...

Looks good, though I've never tried zucchini.

Re Psyllium Husk:
Both 'The Joy of Home With Martha Ellen' and 'Elephant's Child' asked about Psyllium Husk.

This is used as a binder in many recipe suggestions, it adds fibre and is gluten free.

Hello Jan!:) This recipe is sooo good for my diet,...yes I'm still eating food with less calories, and feel so much better for it. I love beetroot, and we grow Courgettes on the farm, so this will be on our menu very soon.
Enjoy your weekend!:)

Martha said...

Oh my...so yummy! Thanks for sharing this. And happy weekend to you!

HappyK said...

Sure looks good.

Jean | DelightfulRepast.com said...

Jan, that sounds perfectly delightful! And I like that it calls for both turmeric and pepper. Black pepper is supposed to enhance the benefits of turmeric somehow.

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

PERFECT. Just the kind of recipe I'm looking for when I entertain an out of town friend next week. Thanks for this wonderful vegetarian recipe, Jan.

This looks delicious. I think it's time to get some Turmeric in the house. That boat race above that you posted would be fun to watch.
