Method

Step 1

Prepare your lentil.

Step 2

Heat tbsp rapeseed oil in a frying pan, then fry the onion for about minutes, then add the garlic, ginger to fry for further minute, before adding the peas and continuing to fry for another minutes.

Step 3

Now add the pea mixture, drained cooked lentils, and curry powder to the boiled and mashed potatoes, plus a pinch of salt and pepper, and stir to thoroughly mix. Set this mixture in the fridge for at least minutes (or even overnight) to make firm and easier to handle/shape.

Step 4

Now, shape the croquette mixture into small patties or cylinders. Prepare your breading process by gathering small bowls and tipping tbsp flour into the first, plant milk mixed with corn starch in the second, and your breadcrumbs in the third.

Step 5

Dip each croquette into the flour to coat, followed by the corn-starch thickened milk, then the breadcrumbs.

Step 6

Now heat the oil in a frying pan, and once very hot, fry the croquettes in batches of (to avoid cooling the oil). Donut be tempted to turn too often, as you want to ensure the croquettes get nice and golden-crispy. They should be done after about minutes. Place in a warm oven whilst cooking the second batch.
