Step 3.) Chop up garlic and onion. Add into the bowl with corn and zucchini (i also added mushrooms from the fridge that were about to go bad)
Step 4.) in a small bowl whisk eggs. Add that to the veggie mix along with the mozzarella cheese or cheese of your choice!
Step 5.) in a small bowl whisk the flour, corn starch, and spices. Add into the bowl and mix together. If batter is too thick add a-little of the zucchini juice until good consistency.
Step 6.) in a pan add 1-2 cups of oil. Heat to medium temp. Once hot, add in a cup at a time of the zucchini corn batter. fry on each side for 5 minutes or until golden brown. Once done set aside to cool off.
