Green Lentil Rissoles

Ingredients

8 green lentils
475 ml water
55 gr margarine
1 onion
1 carrot
1 green bell pepper
2 garlic
1 gr cayenne
1 gr coriander
2 gr cumin
1 gr curry powder
6 gr tomato paste
5 gr parsley
38 gr oats
50 gr breadcrumbs
240 ml yogurt
1 chives
1 garlic clove

Instructions

Lemon juice Salt & pepper to taste Put lentils & hot water into a pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat & simmer, covered for 30 minutes. Heat margarine in a skillet, add onion & cook for 2 minutes. Add carrot & pepper & cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add spices, paste, salt & pepper. Mix together well.Then stir in lentils & let cool. Mix in parsley. Divide the mixture into dozen equal portions & shape into rounds. Coat them in combined breadcrumbs & oats (oats may have to be blended to resemble fine breadcrumbs). Shallow fry in hot oil until golden brown on both sides. Drain well. For the yogurt sauce, combine all the ingredients & chill till ready to serve. I find that I do not need to roll the rissoles in egg, though the recipe calls for it. "Entertaining with Cranks"
