Spicy Red Lentil and Injera Fritters

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked red lentils, chopped injera, onion, garlic, ginger, chili powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric, salt, pepper, and flour.

Mix well with your hands until the ingredients are evenly distributed and the mixture holds together.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.

Form the lentil mixture into small, flattened patties (about 2 inches in diameter).

Carefully place the fritters in the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

While the fritters are frying, prepare the yogurt dipping sauce: In a small bowl, combine the plain yogurt, lemon juice, and chopped cilantro. Mix well.

Serve the hot lentil and injera fritters immediately with the yogurt dipping sauce.
