I made half the recipe as I live alone. Overall I liked the fritters but they need a flavour boost. I will definitely add a little salt and black pepper. I use very little salt but it was lacking here. I will probably try adding some curry powder or other spicy ingredient. The paprika gave colour but not enough flavour.
