This is my kids favourite dish..they ask for it everytime but i especially love to make it during sunday brunch. nothing like the taste and crunchiness of some hot bhajias to go with some coconut chutney or chilli sauce

Steps

1

Rinse out then soak the lentils for at least 5 hours, preferably overnight.
Wash and sieve out as much of the peels as you can.You might not be able to get out all the peels, but that's owk.Wash and change the water several times until you're satisfied that the grains are clean and the water is clear. Remember to check for stones.
2

Put the cleaned and drained lentils in a colander to drip out all the water.then transfer it to a food processor.This is how they look after soaking and removing most of the peels.
3

Now using a food processor, grind these together to make a rough mixture. Do not add water whilst doing this unless you absolutely have to, and then also just add a tsp at a time until you can grind the mixture
4

Prepare your other ingredients.chop your corainder.and prepare your spices too.Make sure you make the garlic and ginger into a paste.
5

Add all your spices into the processed lentils and mix together until all are thoroughly combined.
6

This is how they look like after they have been thoroughly mixed.I added a bit of chopped curry leaves too
7

Heat up your oil in a pan.make sure the heat is on medium.Take a small amount of the mixtue into your hand and shape it into a small circle.flatten it out a bit and carefully drop them into the hot pan.
8

Fry them on each side for about two minutes on medium heat or until it turns to a brown shade which suites your preference.
9

Once browned on both sides,remove them and place them on some kitchen towels to bloat the excess oil.
10

Enjoy them with some yummy coconut chutney/chilli sauce.

I love good food and I love trying out new flavours and experimenting in the kitchen with different recipes.I'm a foodie and as such I enjoy making my own food and devouring it later when its finally done.I also do orders especially of cakes and some desserts too.
