INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked lentils (198g)
1 medium potato (150g)
1/2 cup green peas (80g)
2 large eggs (100g total)
1/4 cup chopped onion (40g)
Olive oil spray
1/2 cup chopped cilantro (8g)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (15g)
1 small green chili (10g)
1 garlic clove (3g)
1 teaspoon ground cumin (2g)
1 teaspoon smoked paprika (2g)
Salt and black pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray with olive oil.
In a large bowl, mash the cooked potato until smooth. Add the cooked lentils, green peas, and chopped onion.
Crack in the eggs and mix well to bind the ingredients. Stir in the ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Form the mixture into small patties, about 3-4 inches in diameter, and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the cakes are crisp on the edges and heated through.
For the chutney, combine cilantro, lemon juice, green chili, and garlic in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt as needed.
Serve the crispy lentil and potato cakes warm with a generous drizzle of fresh cilantro chutney on top or on the side.
