- Fry in batches for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden and crispy. Move each batch to a plate lined with paper towels.
- For the sauce, put the Greek yogurt in a bowl with the garlic, lemon juice, olive oil and dried dill. Season generously with salt and black pepper and whisk.
- Spoon the sauce onto a dish, arrange the fritters around it and serve immediately.
