Yummy Indian Crunch Patties / Lentil & Chickpea Masala Vedai Recipe
Posted by
Directions:
- Clean the chickpeas and lentils in cold water, and soak them in a sufficient water level for at least 1 hour. (IMPORTANT- I know you were thinking about pre-boiling or just using canned to be lazy. But I did the same thing and had to toss it the first time; there has to be coarseness to this batter or it won't work. It'll be like frying funnel cake batter, too creamy and nothing to chew on.).
- Drain well and blend in a food processor.
- The mixture should have a thick and pasty consistency- but if it can't blend, just add a few drops of water but not too much.
- Pour the lentil/chickpea puree into another mixing bowl, and add the other ingredients, blending well.
- Form the mixture into balls (about ping pong ball sized) with your hands (I hope you washed them) and flatten.
- Let the balls set for a few minutes.
- Fry the balls in the olive oil, then blot on paper towels.
- Serve with a nice chutney, tamarind date sauce, a nice yogurt sauce, or double/triple the recipe to have enough for all 3!
