INGREDIENT NOTES:

YELLOW LENTILS:

  • They are the main ingredient that provide protein, fiber, and a creamy texture when we cook. Yellow lentils make light patty mixture. You may use red lentils as an alternative.

ONION:

  • It adds natural sweetness and savory flavor while helping keep the patties moist. Finely chopped onion blends easily into the mixture. Shallots or green onions can be used instead.

CARROT:

  • Carrot adds color, nutrition, and a mild sweetness to the patties. It also provides moisture and texture. You may use zucchini or sweet potato as a substitute.

PARSLEY:

  • Parsley gives freshness and a bright flavor that maintian the earthy taste of lentils. It improves the overall flavor of the patties. Cilantro or fresh dill can be used as alternatives.

EGG:

  • It acts as a binder and helps hold the patties together during cooking. Eggs create a firmer texture and reduce crumbling. A flax egg can be used as a substitute.

WHOLE WHEAT BREADCRUMBS:

  • They absorb excess moisture and help create a sturdy patty texture. Whole wheat breadcrumbs also add extra fiber. Regular breadcrumbs, oat flour, or crushed oats work well as alternatives.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. First, in cold water, rinse the lentils.
  2. Boil water and lentils in the saucepan, then reduce the flame.
