Lentil Vada

Directions

1. In a pot of boiling water, add lentils and cook for 3 minutes. Drain well and blend to a semi-coarse mixture with an immersion blender. Place into a large mixing bowl.
2. To the lentils, add remaining ingredients and blend well until well combined.
3. Form mixture into 30 evenly sized balls and then flatten into disks. Place onto a parchment-lined sheet tray to await frying step.
4. Fry disks until golden brown at 375°F (190°). Remove and place on paper towel or a wire rack to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
