One large mixing bowl

Tia's tip

It is easier to use a clean tea towel to squeeze the water out of the courgettes, rather than kitchen roll

What do we do?

Grate the courgette and then put it into 2-3 sheets of kitchen roll and then squeeze it over the medium bowl to remove the water from the courgette. Then put it squeezed courgette into the big bowl. The kitchen roll can go int the bin.
Grate the cheese and add to the big bowl with the eggs
Mix well and then add the flour and salt and gently combine.
Put a little of the oil into the frying pan. Put in on a medium heat.
Drop one heaped tablespoon of courgette mixture into the pan. This will make one fritter. Depending on the size of your pan you may be able to cook 2 or 3 at the same time.
Cook the fritters for 2 minutes and then turn over and cook for another 2 minutes. They should be golden brown
Repeat steps 5 & 6 until all of the mixture is used up. Add more oil to the pan if needed.
Cut the chives in the cup using the scissors.
Put the sour cream and chives in the small bowl and stir in the salt and pepper.
Serve the fritters with the dip
