Ingredients
3 small summer squash, grated1 tsp salt, divided1 small onion, grated or minced1/4 cup plain soy yogurt 1/3 cup flour1/3 cup yellow cornmeal1 tsp baking powderabout 5 Tbsp oil for frying
Place grated squash in a colander and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt. (If you're trying to cut salt from your diet, you can skip the salt here.) Mix and let drain 30 minutes or so. Then squeeze out all liquid from squash. (I place the squash in a clean dish towel, NOT terry, and wring out the water.) You'll have about 2 cups after squeezing out the water. Place squash in a medium mixing bowl. Set aside.
Place grated onion in a mesh strainer and rinse. Drain and add to squash.
To squash and onion, add yogurt; mix well.
In a small bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder and remaining 1/2 tsp salt. Add flour mixture to squash mixture. Combine til all flour is moistened.
Heat oil in nonstick skillet over medium heat. Drop squash mixture by level tablespoon into hot oil. Fry 2 or 3 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towel. Fry in two or three batches, depending on size of your pan.
Makes about 18 fritters.
