GREEN LENTIL FRITTERS

Quantity: 25 – 30 You can find the lentils here LIST OF INGREDIENTS 2 Cups Cypressa Green Lentils 1 medium onion 4 – 5 cloves of garlic Hand full coriander leaves Hand full parsley 1 tsp roasted ground cumin powder 1tsp ground coriander 6 heaping tablespoons cornflour 1 green chilli ½ tsp ground black pepper Salt to taste Vegetable oil to deep fry Yogurt Mint Sauce: 100g plain yogurt 1 table spoon mint sauce METHOD Yogurt mint Sauce: Mix ingredients and keep to one side to serve later with the fritters. Green Lentil Fritters: Soak the Cypressa Green lentils for 4 to 6 hours in water or overnight. Drain and rinse. Roughly chop the onion. Transfer all the ingredients except the oil into a food processor and process to get a fairly smooth mix. Transfer the mix to a bowl and place it in the refrigerator for about an hour (Note the mix does not firm up). When ready to fry, heat the oil on medium heat. Take a small teaspoon of mix and drop it into the oil. It should float and hold its shape. If it disintegrates, add another tablespoon of cornflour to the mix and mix thoroughly. Using 2 table spoons – one to scoop and the other to push the mix into the oil, carefully drop table spoon size rough balls into the oil and deep fry, turning occasionally to get an even colour until medium brown in colour. Drain the fried balls and serve in any one of the following ways: - In a Pitta as a sandwich with salad and yogurt mint sauce; - In a wrap with salad, pickles and yogurt mint sauce; - Serve covered with plain yogurt and seasoned with ground cumin.
