Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by finely chopping ripe tomatoes and placing them in a large mixing bowl. Add red onion, minced garlic, and lemon zest, followed by dill and parsley. Mix thoroughly for 2 minutes.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Gradually sift into the tomato blend, stirring until a cohesive dough forms, about 3-4 minutes.
- Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat until hot enough to sizzle a small spoonful of the mixture. Aim for about 350°F (175°C).
- Drop tablespoons of the fritter mixture into the pan, frying for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown.
- Flip each fritter and cook on the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until crispy edges form and the fritters puff up.
- Remove the fritters from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with tzatziki for dipping.

Notes
Use ripe tomatoes for best flavor. Maintain oil temperature when frying and consider adding a pinch of cinnamon for extra warmth.
