Cooking Tips
Make sure to soak the lentils long enough to soften them, ensuring a smoother texture when blending.
To keep the koftas crispy, don’t overcrowd the pan while frying.
If you prefer a spicier hot sauce, adjust the chili powder and flakes to your liking.
Let the kofta mixture sit in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up and hold its shape better when frying.
Nutritional Benefits
Red lentils are an excellent source of protein and fiber, making these koftas a great vegetarian protein option.
