Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine lentils, onion, eggs, herbs, and spices. In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir flour mixture into the lentil mixture just to moisten. Add grated zucchini and stir gently until just incorporated.
  2. In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, warm canola oil. Drop batter using a large ice cream scoop into hot oil, spreading out a little to make them round. You can fry three fritters at once. Fry on each side for about 3 minutes, until golden. Remove to a paper towel lined platter and continue cooking fritters until all batter is gone.
  3. Serve warm, sprinkled with coarse sea salt and topped with dill sour cream.
