  • Dont let it be bland!

    Overall the recipe is good but I doubled the amount of shallots and added garlic powder and cayenne pepper to properly flavor the mixture. I would skip adding the avocados in the fritters and just use them in an avocado puree or avocado mango sauce.

  • Incomplete instructions

    The instructions are incomplete. #1 refers to part of the list of ingredients. #3 is the first 2 ingredients, and I assume the last 4 ingredients are for the sauce.
    If you follow your instructions-everything is in the blender and done. My question is, what goes into the blender?
