Ingredients
- 275g Co-op dried red split lentils
- 2 onions, finely sliced
- ½ x 25g pack coriander, chopped
- 4 green chillies, finely chopped
- Co-op vegetable oil, for frying
- Sweet chilli sauce, for dipping (optional)
Method
- Soak the lentils in water for at least 2-3 hours prior to use; they will expand in size
- Wash them well until the water runs clear
- Drain the excess water from the lentils and whizz in a blender until smooth
- Add a little water to loosen slightly
- If you like a crunchier texture, don’t blitz the lentils too finely
- Transfer to a mixing bowl with the onion, coriander and chilli, then season
- Mix until combined, then set aside for at least 30 mins
- Carefully drain away any water in the bowl
- Fill a large, deep pan two-thirds full with oil, then set over a medium-high heat
- It’s ready when a cube of bread dropped in turns golden in around 15 seconds
- Fry tablespoons of the lentil mixture in batches, for 3-4 mins, until golden on the outside and fluffy on the inside
- Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper
- Enjoy with sweet chilli sauce for dipping, if you like
