Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the tomatoes by grating or finely chopping them. Drain excess moisture in a colander for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together.
  3. Gently stir in drained tomatoes, crumbled feta, chopped parsley, and dill into the dry mixture.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then mix them into the fritter mixture until evenly blended.
  5. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat until shimmering.
  6. Shape fritters into 2-inch patties and carefully place in the hot oil, frying for 3-4 minutes on each side.
  7. Once golden brown, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  8. Serve warm with tzatziki sauce or yogurt dip.
