Instructions

  1. Soak the lentils overnight or at least 6 hours. The next day, pour into a sieve and drain.
  2. Chop the onion, garlic and chilli pepper into small pieces. Cut away the upper and lower ends of the lemongrass and chop the rest too. Puree everything we just chopped up with the lentils. Add flour, baking powder, fennel seeds and a little salt and mix everything well.
  3. Shape the dough into balls, about the size of a table tennis ball. Fry the balls in oil until golden brown or brush with a little oil and bake in the oven at 200 ° for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
