Red Lentil and Jute Leaf Fritters

Ingredients

  • Red lentils (1 cup)
  • Chopped jute leaves (2 cups)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Turmeric powder (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Chili powder (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Chopped onion (1 cup)
  • Green chilies (2–3)

Method

  1. Wash the red lentils and soak them in water for at least 6 hours. For best results, soak them overnight so the lentils swell. Grind the lentils in a mortar or blend them. If the lentils are very soft, you can also mash them well by hand instead of blending.
  2. Wash the jute leaves and chop them finely. Mix in all the remaining ingredients and shape the mixture into patties.
  3. Deep-fry in hot oil and serve while still hot.
