👨🍳 Ohjeet
- 1
Cook the red lentils according to package directions until tender. Drain well and set aside in a large mixing bowl.
- 2
In a skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 more minutes until fragrant. Transfer to the bowl with the cooked lentils.
- 3
Add the grated sweet potatoes, chopped parsley, cumin, coriander, turmeric, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the lentils and sautéed aromatics. Mix until well combined.
- 4
Stir in the flour and the egg until a cohesive mixture forms. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes.
- 5
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape into small patties (about 1/2 inch thick).
- 6
Heat the remaining 3 tbsp of olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the patties in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp.

While the fritters are frying, prepare the tahini sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, and water until smooth and creamy. Add more water if needed to reach desired consistency.
