Steps:
- Place the first 10 ingredients in a large pan and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer slowly, about 30 minutes until all the liquid has been absorbed (stir occasionally).
- Note that the above steps can also be done in a pressure cooker if you have one - it's much faster.
- Remove the mixture from heat and cool slightly.
- Now beat in the egg and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Let the mixture cool completely (I find that the mixture holds its shape better if it has been refrigerated for a couple of hours).
- Combine the flour, turmeric and chili powder in a small plate.
- Once lentils are cool, shape the mixture into circles.
- Roll the croquettes in the above spiced flour mixture to coat well.
- Heat oil in a skillet and cook the croquettes in batches, turning once until crisp and brown on both sides.
- Serve immediately with chutney or a crisp salad.
- Note - it's important for the liquid to be fully absorbed in the lentil mixture so that it can bind well with the help of the egg.
