Tips:

For extra crispy fritters, double coat the tomato mixture in batter by dipping them in a cornstarch-water mixture first, then coating them in the prepared batter.
Feel free to adjust the herbs and spices to your taste. You can add a pinch of cinnamon or chili flakes for an extra kick.
Leftover fritters can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in a pan or oven until warmed through.

Steps

1 Done	In a colander, sprinkle the chopped tomatoes with salt and let them sit for 15-20 minutes to drain excess moisture. Then, gently squeeze out any remaining liquid with your hands.
2 Done	In a large bowl, combine the drained tomatoes, red onion, parsley, oregano, mint, salt, pepper, flour, and baking powder. Mix well until evenly incorporated.
3 Done	Pour enough vegetable oil into a pan or skillet to reach a depth of about 1/2 inch. Heat it over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4 Done	Using a spoon or your hands, form small patties of the batter and carefully drop them into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
5 Done	Drain the fritters on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve immediately with your favorite yogurt dip, lemon wedges, or simply enjoy them on their own!
