👨‍🍳 作り方

1. 1

   Drain the soaked red lentils thoroughly. In a food processor, pulse the lentils until they are coarsely ground, leaving some texture.

   💡 プロのコツ: Do not over-process into a smooth paste; a slightly coarse texture is desirable.
2. 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. 3

   Add the all-purpose flour to the lentil mixture and mix well. The flour will help bind the fritters together.

   💡 プロのコツ: If the mixture seems too wet, add a little more flour. If too dry, add a tablespoon of water.
4. 4

   Heat about 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pan or pot over medium-high heat until shimmering.

5. 5

   Carefully drop spoonfuls of the lentil mixture into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches.

   💡 プロのコツ: Use a tablespoon to scoop and shape the fritters. Flatten them slightly for even cooking.
6. 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. 7

   Serve the tagalia hot, accompanied by a dipping sauce such as tahini sauce, yogurt dip, or a spicy chili sauce.
