Red Lentil Fritters Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Lentils

   Rinse the red lentils under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine the rinsed lentils and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the lentils are soft and have absorbed most of the water. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

2. 2

   Mix Ingredients

   In a large bowl, combine the cooked lentils, diced onion, minced garlic, grated carrot, cumin powder, coriander powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped cilantro. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

3. 3

   Form the Fritters

   Using your hands, form the lentil mixture into small patties (about 2-3 inches in diameter).

4. 4

   Cook the Fritters

   Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the fritters in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

5. 5

   Serve

   Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dip or sauce.
