Fritule od tikvica are traditional Croatian fritters originating from Istria. They're made with a combination of flour, grated zucchini, eggs, white wine, salt, oil, and grated cheese. The flour, egg yolks, wine, cheese, salt, and grated zucchini are stirred together, then mixed with the egg whites.

The mixture is shaped into small balls with a spoon, and the balls are then fried in hot oil. During the frying process, they should be turned over regularly so that they fry evenly. Once done, fritule od tikvica are sprinkled with grated cheese and enjoyed while still warm.
