1. Pour oil in a skillet half an inch deep, turn the heat to medium.
2. While waiting for oil to heat up, combine zucchini, onion, and eggs in a large bowl. Stir mixture to combine.
3. In another bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, 1/2 tsp. of chili powder, salt, and pepper and stir to combine.
4. To finish the batter, add dry ingredients to zucchini mixture and fold it all together.
5. Once oil is hot (dip a spoon with some batter on it into the oil to test, if oil starts bubbling in contact with the batter, it’s ready) drop the batter a tablespoon at a time into the oil, frying for 2-3 minutes per side. If you want a more substantial fritter, form the batter into loose ‘patties’ and fry in oil 3-4 minutes per side.
6. When the centers are firm, remove them from oil and allow to drain on a plate lined with a paper towel.
7. To make the dip, simply combine the prepared mayo, lime juice, and chili powder in a small mixing bowl and stir.
