Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Rinse the 1 cup red lentils and soak in 2 cups water for 15 minutes. Drain well, then blend with 1 chopped onion and 1 tsp salt into a thick paste.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 0.5 cup oil in a skillet over medium-high. Drop spoonfuls of the lentil paste into the hot oil, flattening slightly. Fry until golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes per side.

  3. Step 3

    In a small bowl, mix 1 cup shredded coconut, 0.5 cup yogurt, and a pinch of salt. Add a chopped red chili or a pinch of chili flakes if you like heat.

  4. Step 4

    Serve the hot fritters with the coconut chutney on the side. Enjoy immediately for the best crunch.
