- 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro(chopped)

👨🍳 Ohjeet
- 1
Drain the soaked red lentils thoroughly. In a food processor, pulse the lentils until they are coarsely ground, leaving some texture.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Do not over-process into a smooth paste; a slightly coarse texture is desirable. - 2
Transfer the ground lentils to a mixing bowl. Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
- 3
Add the all-purpose flour to the lentil mixture and mix well. The flour will help bind the fritters together.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: If the mixture seems too wet, add a little more flour. If too dry, add a tablespoon of water. - 4
Heat about 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pan or pot over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- 5
Carefully drop spoonfuls of the lentil mixture into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Use a tablespoon to scoop and shape the fritters. Flatten them slightly for even cooking. - 6
Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- 7
Serve the tagalia hot, accompanied by a dipping sauce such as tahini sauce, yogurt dip, or a spicy chili sauce.
