    Very simple and nice but it needed more seasoning, next time I'll be doubling the cumin and stirring some of the coriander through the mixture.

    Mmmm... these were delicious. I doubled the cumin as suggested by Patz. I did a side salad of fennel, chicory, apple and walnut which worked well.

    These we lovely - I added 1 tsp chilli powder for an extra kick. I also don't like coriander so added mint to the yoghurt - lovely

    Very tasty and easy! I made it with a mint yoghurt instead of coriander and it was lovely. They are surprisingly filling as well.

    I made these with courgette instead of carrot. They were really delicious. Made about 6 decent sized fritters. Would also use more cumin next time and maybe a pinch of chilli powder.

    Very delicious! It takes a lot for my carnivore of a fiance to ask for a meal with no meat in it again, but he cant wait for me to make these again! An excellent, tasty and fairly cheap meal!

    I thought these were a bit tasteless - needs more feta and more cumin/spices

    Loved these. Didn't have a grater and so had to cut the carrots into sticks. Worked beautifully, although took quite a long time as you have to cook them in batches. Even better cold the next day.

    This was great. I did double up on the cumin and added a pinch of chilli, next time a pinch more chilli as well! I used 3 medium sized carrots but then didnt have much batter so had to make more. The end result was lovely though and they really are quite filling. Will make again.

    Really enjoyed these, I didn't make the coriander yoghurt as I made some really garlicy Tzatziki instead. I also didn't use Feta, I used a very similar Bulgarian white cheese as I live in Bulgaria, also added to the batter extra cumin, extra chilli and some coriander. Really lovely served with a side salad.

    This is my first attempt at fritters and they came out perfectly. I doubled the cumin, doubled the feta and added half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper. I think i'd try 1 1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper next time as they really were on the mild side of spicy.

    After doubling the amount of cumin, these were still only just okay. I feel that they lacked something... I can see how adding the chilli as suggested by other reviews would help. I found the yoghurt dressing a little bland and if I were to make this again, I'd be tempted to add lemon juice and crushed garlic. Also, I made my own flat breads from a recipe from another site. They are so easy to do I can't see why they aren't included in this recipe. To be honest, I felt much prouder of making the flatbreads than I did the fritters and without them this recipe would be only 2 stars for me. A quick meal, but not great.

    Sorry, just to add that if i were to make this again, I'd also double the feta, 50g just isn't enough.
