Steps

1

Soak the lentils in water with baking soda, preferably overnight.
2

Drain the lentils and rinse them with hot water before grinding. Use a grinder or blender to process them into a dough-like mixture.
3

Finely chop the seasonings; sauté them and add to the lentil mixture. Mix well and season with salt, ground red bell pepper, and white pepper.
4

Shape the mixture into croquettes (I made them like burger patties).
5

Fry in hot oil. Keep in mind they absorb a lot of oil. I also cooked them on a griddle with just a little oil, and they turned out great!
6

You can use these croquettes to make burgers, or serve them with rice, salads, or any side dish you like. This is how they look when fried!
