Savory lentil cakes
I was scratching my head for ideas for something savory, something high protein - that could go in my lunch sandwiches. So I decided to soak yellow lentils (chana daal) overnight to see where I'd go from there. The following day I blend the lentils with spices and spread them on an oiled nonstick and that was it!
Ingredients:
1 and 1/2 cup yellow lentils
1/2 yellow onion
2 green chillies
1 large garlic pod
small chunk of ginger
salt to taste
1 tsp red chilli pwd
1/2 tsp turmeric
4 tbsp wheat germ
1 tsp Indian all spice (garam masala)
2 tbsp bread crumbs
handful chopped cilantro
After you blend everything, cook these cakes on both sides for 7-8 mins on medium-high with a lid. You can have it as is with ketchup or any chutney. They were the best just off the skillet.
Or make a sandwich like I did with lettuce, cucumber, tomato, cilantro chutney, and onion with mustard and ketchup.
Sprouts would have been good too.

Gud one...lentils are a great source of protein for vegetarians..am sure it goes well with sandwiches/burgers
Good nutritious and protein rich snack.I like it.
Tied the same with yellow bean splits.Did not blend the onions with it but added finely chopped onions and green chillies for a crunchier taste.
I have tried this and I add chopped tomatoes and grated carrots to it. Gets the children to eat more veggies. It was a big hit one summer. I need to do it again.
i like the carrots idea, forget children, it will get my adult husband to eat more carrots!!
