👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Cook the rinsed red lentils with water and salt until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain any excess water and mash the lentils in a bowl.
2
In a separate pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3
Add the sautéed onion and garlic to the mashed lentils. Stir in the chopped parsley, cumin, coriander, turmeric, egg, salt, and pepper.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure all ingredients are well combined.
4
Gradually add the flour, mixing until a cohesive dough forms. The mixture should be firm enough to shape.
5
Shape the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter.
6
Heat about 1/4 inch of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
💡 전문가 팁: Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary.
7
Remove the fritters from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
