- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, the baking powder and about 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Add the flour mixture to the tomato mixture and fold with a spatula until evenly combined.
- Taste and adjust the salt and pepper if needed.
- Optionally, chill the mixture for a few hours; it can also be used right away. Letting it rest at least 1 hour gives the best flavor.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Carefully drop 1 tablespoon of batter at a time into the oil. Fry for at least 3 minutes before flipping.
- Fry for 6 to 7 minutes total, until golden brown all over.
- Drain the fritters on a plate lined with paper towels, then serve right away with tzatziki for dipping.
