• If you want lighter fritters, replace some of the flour with cornstarch in your fritter mixture.
  
• To prevent your fritters from absorbing too much oil during cooking, make sure the oil is hot before dipping the balls in it and do not overload the Thermomix steamer basket.
  
• After forming the balls with the fritter batter, refrigerate them for about 15 minutes before frying to help them maintain their shape during cooking.
  
• Use a food thermometer to check that the oil reaches an ideal temperature between 180°C and 190°C to ensure even cooking and prevent them from burning.
  
• When frying the fritters, avoid flipping or moving the balls too quickly to achieve a uniform golden and crispy color.
  
• If you prefer a lighter version, you can also opt for baking instead of frying. Simply place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 200°C for about 15-20 minutes until golden.
  
• Add fresh herbs like parsley or finely chopped cilantro to your fritter mixture to add an extra touch of freshness.
  
• Serve your fritters with a homemade dip sauce like tzatziki (Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, and mint), spicy ketchup, or even a tomato coulis to complement their flavor.
  
• Replace the zucchini with eggplant to make Thermomix eggplant fritters.
  
• You can use this recipe as inspiration to make shrimp fritters or apple fritters.
