                                     Patties Made Of Carrots And Split Green Gram Lentil

This patti is an experi-mental one. I made these because I like the sweetness of the carrots and the taste of the split green gram lentil. Addition of potatoes gave it a nice taste, i used plain oats for the binding  instead of bread. 

Ingredients

1)
2 carrots grated
1 cup split green gram lentil soaked for half an hour in water
2 green chillies
1/2 spoon grated fresh turmeric
Salt to taste
Fresh coriander chopped 

2)

2 gooseberries grated
1 cup oats soaked in just enough yogurt
Fresh chopped coriander

Method

First take a pan and make a tempering of oil, mustard seeds asafoetida, add chopped chillies, grated turmeric, saute, add the carrot, add the soaked lentil, salt, add water enough for the lentil to cook soft, cook covered. Keep stirring in between  to check if the lentil is soft and cooked then the mixture is ready. There should be no water remaining in it.

Mix well, make equal sized balls, make patties and shallow fry or pan fry on both sides till golden and they are ready to be enjoyed as a tea time snack.
