It is a zucchini fritter called Mücver from Turkey. It has a familiar taste similar to Japanese oyaki or okonomiyaki. In Berlin, Germany, it is sold as an easy-to-eat snack at market stalls. If you eat it Turkish style with yogurt sauce, it will have a refreshing taste.

★We are introducing Turkish-style yogurt sauce, but it also goes well with Japanese tonkatsu sauce, so if you want a Japanese-style taste, try tonkatsu sauce.
★This recipe uses sweet green onions. If you can’t find it at the store, you can substitute green onions, all-purpose green onions, etc.
★Paprika powder is red like chili powder, so it may seem spicy at first glance. You might think that, but it’s not a spicy powder at all, so if you don’t like spicy food, feel free to use it.
★We are introducing two sauces. Sauce 1 has a refreshing taste, and sauce 2 has a punch because it contains garlic. This sauce is recommended for those who like garlic.
