These crispy and flavorful zucchini latkes are a fusion of traditional Jewish potato latkes and Indian spices. The addition of zucchini, onions, and peppers gives them a unique twist, making them a perfect appetizer or side dish for any meal.

  5. Remove the latkes from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
