👨🍳 Instructions
- 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.

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.

Stir in the flour and the egg until a cohesive mixture forms. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes.

Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape into small patties (about 1/2 inch thick).

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.
