Soak the rinsed split red lentils and water togather for 1 hour. Transfer soaked red lentils, onions, chives, salt and pepper into a food processor and process until smooth. It fry up beautifully.
Preheat oil to 375F. Gently drop scant tablespoonfuls of the lentil batter into the oil (I use a second spoon to gently push the batter so it does not splatter). Fry 3-4 spoonfuls at a time turniung occasionally until golden. Remove from oil and let drain on a paper-towel-lined platter.
To serve, whisk togather mayonnaise and red chilli and serve the fritters fresh with the sauce. Enjoy!
