I had some trouble getting the fritters to hold together. I think I might have added too much liquid. Other than that, they were delicious.

These fritters were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better with more spices or herbs.

These fritters were easy to make and turned out great! I used canned lentils and chickpeas, which made it even faster. The capsicum salsa was also a nice touch.
