Hello everyone! This time, I'd like to share an easy recipe for delicious, tasty fried lentil balls (Para Kyaw).

Ingredients

  • 1 shallot (finely sliced)
  • About 8 tablespoons of coriander (finely chopped)
  • 2 green chilies (thinly sliced)
  • Salt and oil, a little
  • 18 tablespoons of split peas (dal)

  • 4 dried red chilies

Step-by-Step Method

1. In a large bowl, add the split peas and pour in water until they are fully submerged. Then soak for about 3 hours.

2. Once fully soaked for the set time, drain the split peas using a strainer.

3. Then put them into a grinder and grind until it becomes a paste.

4. Next, add the dried chilies into the grinder and grind again until it becomes a paste.

5. Put the ground split pea paste into a large bowl.

6. Add the shallots, coriander, green chilies, and salt, then knead until well combined.

7. After that, shape into small, evenly-sized balls and arrange them on a plate, ready for frying.

8. Heat a pot and add oil. Once the oil is hot, add the shaped pea balls and fry until they turn golden brown. (This will take about 5 to 6 minutes.)

Once everything is fried, you'll have delicious fried lentil balls ready to enjoy.
