Grate two zukes and c. 1/2 an onion. Squeeze out as much water as
possible; I use a tea towel for this. Mix with one egg, salt and pepper
to taste, and something absorbent. Normally it would be c. 1/4 cup flour
or matzoh meal, but I've taken to using gram flour (from chickpeas), as
it doesn't hit my blood sugar the way wheat does. Heat some oil in a
heavy frying pan and use a spoon to drop blobs of the zuke mixture in
the oil. Flatten with the back of a pancake turner. Flip when it appears
the blob will hold together and the bottom is golden. When the second
side is done, place on paper towel to drain. Repeat until you run out of
the zuke mixture, adding oil as needed. Serve with sour cream.
