Weights are estimates. Together, the ingredients weigh about 1.28 kg before cooking, which is about 320 g per serving.
Steps
Cut the zucchini in half and hollow them out. Set aside the scooped-out flesh if you would like to use it for mücver.
Slice the zucchini thinly.
Combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and cornmeal in a bowl.
Add the sparkling water to the dry mixture to prepare the frying batter.
Season the batter with garlic powder and Aegean herb and garlic salt seasoning.
Grate the cucumbers and squeeze out their excess water thoroughly.
Mix the squeezed cucumbers with the strained yogurt and finely chopped dill.
Season the sauce with garlic powder and salt.
Heat the frying oil in a suitable pan or pot. Coat the zucchini slices in the prepared batter.
Fry the battered zucchini in the hot oil until crisp.
Serve the fried zucchini with the cucumber-yogurt sauce.
Notes
The source does not specify the amount of frying oil, the oil temperature, or the frying time. Since the sauce may reduce the crispness of the fried zucchini if left to sit, it is best served alongside it; this point is also mentioned in the source comments.
