Directions
Lentil Croquettes, Yummy!, these were quite good! i had to make a couple of minor adjustments, though the lentils needed quite a bit more liquid- at least half a cup, maybe a cup (i didn’t measure) they started to burn in the pot – the liquid was gone, but they were still significantly undercooked also, they were too flour-y, but that was me, not the recipe (i dredged them too heavily) all in all, they came out really well i served them with raita, and the more we ate the more we liked them (even our 2 year old!) , I thought these turned out well I found that the flour mixture was not nearly enough to coat all the croquettes – I had to triple this amount I also refrigerated mine overnight and found the mixture still a little hard to handle Once in the frying pan though, they held together and crisped up nicely They have a nice subtle indian flavor, and I would make these again Thanks
