Author's Notes

Makes 2-4 portions.

Try to remove the majority of moisture from the vegetables and lentils while making the batter. This reduces the chance of splattering when the mixture hits the hot oil.

Aim for a skinny fry thickness when cutting the zucchini batons, anything larger will result in fritters that are hard to form.
