The Ingredients
In fact, I love using lentils of any kind in my diet; they’re a wonderful source of plant-based protein as well as copper, folate, manganese, phosphorous, iron, and zinc. I’ve shared a couple of red lentil recipes already, including this red lentil dahl and lentil bolognese– with a dozen more recipes for brown and green lentils too (links at the bottom of the post)! These are great when served the creamy lemony dill yogurt dip as a simple appetizer, and they are also great served in pita or even as burgers with toppings. Serve them as a main with your favorite sides like:
In a hot pan, brown the lentil rice cakes in olive oil (½ tsp) on both sides and then put in the oven and bake at 375°F until cooked through. Add to the batter and whisk vigorously for 90 seconds. The batter will almost double in volume and turn a pale shade of yellow. These lentil cakes can be served as an appetizer, side, or main. Here are just a few of the ways I suggest enjoying these patties.For crispier outsides feel free to press some breadcrumbs like panko (gluten-free, if needed) to the outside of the lentil fritters before cooking. I haven’t yet tried cooking these in my Air-fryer or oven, but there’s no reason why they shouldn’t work- although each method will affect how crispy the outside of the red lentil fritters are.
Autumn is tapping at our door. We’ve had some low temperatures in the the mid 40’s and the apples are rapidly gaining size as they dangle from our trees. Along with these tell-tale signs comes another that we have anxiously awaited – the arrival of ripe, plump tomatoes. I can’t get enough of them and as summer lingers for a few more weeks I plan to put these juicy red signs of late summer to good use. Add the hot tempering to the prepared handvo batter. It will sizzle a little, so be careful. Whisk the tempering in. Fridge: Store the leftover lentil patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.The newly opened ADDA 1522, a retro-themed pub in Banglore's Halasuru neighbourhood, offers classic idli as well as a few creative iterations. Chef Vedant Pawar grew up in Karwar (a coastal Karnataka town on India's west coast) but rarely ate idli as a child, though has come to appreciate it now. If you enjoyed these simple lentil fritters, you might enjoy these other green, brown, and red lentil recipes: These red lentil cakes are tender on the inside, with a lightly crispy outside. When combined with peppers, onion, and garlic, you get a delicious nutty, earthy flavor- ramped up with a blend of several herbs and spices. Best of all, this red lentil recipe is also naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, and vegan!
