Curry powder adds complexity while being budget-friendly.

Cook lentils in a small saucepan with water for about 15 minutes until soft.

Peel and cube potatoes, then cook in a separate saucepan for 12-15 minutes until firm but not too soft.

In a large bowl, crush the cooked potatoes and lentils together using a fork or potato masher.

Add chopped onion, sweet pepper, chives, marjoram, and parsley to the mixture and mix well.

If the mixture is too wet, add a little flour to help hold it together.

Form the mixture into patties.

Coat each patty in a mixture of flour and bread crumbs.

Fry the patties in hot oil for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
