Lentil Vegetable Nuggets
This simple veggie nugget recipe is made with red lentils, lots of vegetables, salt, ginger-chili paste, mint, and chickpea flour. Mint gives a very nice flavor and aroma. Whereas chickpea flour works as a binding agent in this recipe. These are little Indian tasting fritters. They, either cold or warm are a perfect pair for ketchup on the side for dipping!
We are very particular about ketchup or any dipping sauce. My family loves nice thick and rich Ketchup. One of our favorites is Hunt’s Best Ever Ketchup. Hunt’s thickest, richest, best ever Ketchup. It pairs so well with this Vegetable fritters/nuggets.
