Preparation
- Drain and rinse the lentils well and put half of them in a mixer together with the shallot, tahini, curry, rosemary, oregano, mint and a pinch of salt.
- Chop everything coarsely and transfer the mixture to a bowl, to which you will add the chilli and the flour.
- Mix and add the remaining un-chopped lentils. The mixture should be quite dry, so if necessary, add additional flour.
- Form with the hands of the balls with the mixture and pass them into the flour.
- The meatballs will have to cook for about 2′ or 3′ per side to form a golden crust but remain fluffy inside.
