Ingredients

1 cup finely chopped onion
½ cup finely chopped butternut squash
2 tablespoons chopped coriander
1 cup chopped spinach
2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon each of cumin and sea salt
1 teaspoon each of garlic powder, coriander, and turmeric
2 cups of 12-hour soaked and rinsed red lentils
4-6 TBSP of rapeseed oil for frying

Method

Heat olive oil in a medium-sized frying pan pan.
Sauté onions and a sprinkle of salt for 3-4 minutes.
Add the butternut squash and sauté for another 5-8 minutes.
Add the spinach and coriander and sauté for 2-3 more minutes. You want to make sure all the veggies including the butternut squash are well cooked. You can always cover the pan at this point for a few minutes to speed it along.
Add all the spices, stir well, and fry for 1 minute. The mixture may appear a bit dry--this is how it should be!
Transfer veggie and spice mixture to a large bowl.
Place the red lentils in a food processor and blend with ½ TBSP of water. You are going for a thick batter here, not a runny batter. You can add another ½ TBSP of water if needed to loosen it up.
Mix batter into veggies and stir well.
Scoop a tablespoon of batter and press down to make flat discs.
Heat the rapeseed oil in a large frying pan, until the oil is shimmering and sizzles with a drop of water. Place 4-5 balls in the pan and cook on medium high for 2-3 minutes, flip, give them a squish and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
