Peel the zucchini and grate it on a fine grater. Add the minced garlic and chopped herbs. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a mixer, pour in the kefir, and beat again until well combined. Stir in the flour, season with salt, and mix thoroughly. Heat a skillet, grease it with vegetable oil or butter, and drop the batter on by the spoonful. Cook until the fritters are browned on both sides with a crisp, golden crust. Serve the zucchini kefir fritters hot — a zesty garlic sauce on the side makes them even better. It's a nice way to shake up your summer menu, when zucchini is always on hand.
