Pakoras with Chilli Mint Yoghurt Dip
Steps
- Soak the lentils around 2 hours before blending - they will expand
- Give them a good rinse a couple of times
- Place in a blender and blend until smooth - you might need to use a spoon/spatula to reposition lentils that did not reach the blade (add a splash of water to help it along - not too much though)
- It should have a mushy consistency and should hold a bit of shape - if you think it's too watery, add the rice flour (and egg) to bring it together***
- Add the chopped onions, chopped coriander, spices and salt and mix thoroughly
- Heat oil to 350 degrees celsius and gently spoon batter into the oil (be careful not to splash yourself people)
- Try the first batch for seasoning levels, adjust to the next batch if needed
- You can pop them into a pre-heated oven to keep them warm
- ***I once added too much water when blending so it took 4 tbsp of rice flour to get it to the right consistency... it can be saved!
