Mexican-style Corn and Lentil Fritters

These smoky, spiced fritters are quick to cook and very versatile—perfect as a salad topper, wrap filler, or served warm with a poached egg, avocado a...nd fresh lime for a satisfying weekend brunch. The texture of the mixture will vary depending on how long the lentils are soaked: shorter soaks give a firmer mix you can shape by hand, while longer soaks result in a looser batter that's easy to scoop straight into the pan.

First recipe that I have tried that hasn't worked. The fitters stuck to the pan and were quite broken up. Tasted okay though.
