Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Mung Beans use yellow split
  • 1/2 cup Red Lentils
  • 1 Red Onion finely chopped
  • 1/4 inch Ginger grated
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Pepper
  • 1 Jalapeno seeded and chopped finely
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Cilantro
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  • Wash the mung beans and red lentils thoroughly and soak them for about 1 hour in hot water.
  • Drain the water and put them into a processor along with the jalapeño, grated ginger, ground pepper and blend into a paste. Add just a couple of drops of water if your processor/blender needs help.
  • Transfer to a bowl, add the chopped onions, salt, chopped cilantro and set aside. 
  • Heat oil in a deep skillet (low-medium heat) and gently drop a spoonful of the lentil paste into the oil. You can use another spoon to push the paste into the hot oil gently. 
  • Cook them on low-medium heat until they turn golden. 
  • Make sure the oil is not too hot before you drop the paste into it or else, it will turn brown on the outside but the inside may remain uncooked. 
  • Serve piping hot with your favorite dip. We recommend a Cilantro-tomatillo dip!
