Same ingredients. The steps and times below change to suit your kitchen.
Steps· Fryer
- 1
Use canned or already cooked lentils. Drain them very well and mash half of them.
- 2
Mix all the lentils with 4 tablespoons flour, 1 teaspoon cumin, salt, pepper, and a splash of water until the mixture holds together. Shape into 6 small patties.
- 3
Heat the oil in the fryer to 180 C. Never leave hot oil unattended, and keep children and pets away. Fry for about 3 minutes, turning once, until golden.
- 4
Lift out with a slotted spoon, drain on kitchen paper, and season. Let the oil cool completely before storing or disposing of it safely.
Storage & leftovers
Best eaten fresh; fried food loses its crunch after refrigeration.
Student tip
Don't overcrowd the fryer basket — frying in batches keeps the oil hot and the coating crisp.
