How to Prepare
Wash and cut the zucchinis into thin slices or small cubes as preferred.
In a mixing bowl, combine the zucchini pieces with turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, besan (gram flour), rice flour, and salt. Mix well to coat evenly.
Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the coated zucchini pieces in batches, ensuring they don't overlap too much.
Fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides, turning occasionally. This should take about 5-7 minutes per batch.
Remove the fried zucchini pieces using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process for the remaining batches.
Serve hot as a side dish or snack with rice and sambar or chutney.
