Time 1h31m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ¼ cups yellow lentils
4 ¼ cups water
1 pound ground chicken
1 onion, diced
4 green chile peppers, finely chopped, or more to taste
2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
1 tablespoon garam masala
1 tablespoon salt, or more to taste
½ bunch cilantro, chopped
2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed

Steps:

  • Place lentils in a container. Pour in enough water to cover and let soak, at least 30 minutes. Drain.
  • Combine drained lentils, 4 1/4 cups water, ground chicken, onion, green chile peppers, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, and salt in a large pot. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and let simmer until water has been mostly absorbed and lentils are soft, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Place the lentil mixture in a food processor and pulse until smooth. Stir in cilantro.
  • Shape mixture into patties and dip into beaten eggs.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry patties in batches until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
