Zucchini Fritters with Peanut Satay Sauce

I was thinking about what to do else with the zucchinis we have at home. Zucchinis are available all year round here in Australia but they are more abundant in early summer. So, I scanned the net and look for easy zucchini recipes. The zucchini fritters at All Recipes looks quite good so I did my try on that. As my husband and I love spicy food and we happened to have a lot of chillies - I threw in some finely chopped red and green chillies on top of the other ingredients from All Recipes and they were just great. My husband loved it. And so did I. :-) And I've learned another way to cook zucchinis!

Then, I thought what sauce or dipping that would complement the fritters. At first - I was thinking of the usual dipping that I use for savoury menus i.e. throw in a little of vinegar, soy sauce, lemon juice and some red chillies. Then, I remembered the peanut satay sauce recipe given by my office mate. This is real easy to make - especially for first timers like me and it was wonderful paired with the Zucchinis. So, here goes.

Ingredients:
2 tbsp of oil (I used extra virgin olive oil)
1 finely chopped onion
1 finely chopped clove garlic
1 tsp chilli power (I used chilli paste)
2 tsps curry powder
½ tsp ginger powder (I used ginger paste)
¼ cup of vinegar
2 tbps peanut butter
½ cup of chutney (I used the tamarind chutney)
1 cup of water


1. In a saucepan, sauté the onion and garlic with the oil.
2. Then, add the rest of the ingredients and simmer to thicken.
3. Serve together with the fritters.
