Ingredients
Fats and Oils
- 2 tbsp Ghee desi ghee recommended, but vegetable oil works well too
Instructions
Prepare the Vegetables
- Peel and boil the potato until tender. Refrigerate until completely chilled. Grate the chilled potato.
- Grate the zucchini (no need to peel). Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and let it sit for 10-15 minutes to release excess moisture. Squeeze out any excess water thoroughly with your hands.
Combine Ingredients
- In a bowl, combine the grated potato, grated zucchini, remaining salt, finely chopped green chilies, and black pepper (if using). Mix well to combine.
Form and Fry the Rosti
- Lightly grease your hands with oil or ghee. Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into small, flat patties or rosti.
- Heat ghee or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the rosti in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Serve and Enjoy
- Serve the crispy zucchini and potato rosti immediately. Enjoy them as a delicious breakfast, snack, or side dish. A cool cucumber and yogurt dip is a perfect accompaniment!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Rosti
- For extra crispy rosti, use a combination of grated potato and zucchini.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying; work in batches to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- If your zucchini is particularly watery, you can gently press it between paper towels after grating to remove excess moisture.
- Experiment with different seasonings! Add herbs like chives or dill for extra flavor.
