Lentil Croquettes

• 1 1/4 cups split red lentils
• 1 green capsicum, finely chopped
• 1 red onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons lime juice
• 2 tablespoons unsalted peanuts, chopped
• 2 1/2 cups water (600ml)
• 1 egg, beaten
• TO COOK
• 3 tablespoons plain flour
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 4 tablespoons vegetable oil

1. In a large saucepan add the water & the first 9 ingredients.
2. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat & simmer for 30 minutes or until the liquid has been absorbed, stirring occasionally.
3. Remove from heat & allow to cool slightly.
4. Beat in the egg and season with salt & pepper to taste, then leave to cool completely.
5. With floured hands, form the mixture into 8 oblong shapes (I found this to be the tricky part- shape between cupped hands & transfer from hand to hand).
6. Mix the flour, turmeric & chilli powder together on a small plate, then roll the croquettes in the spiced flour mixture to coat.
7. Heat oil in a large frying pan (skillet) and cook the croquettes, in batches, for 10 mins, turning once, until crisp on both sides and serve.
