Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/2 cup yellow split peas -- soaked in 3 times their volume of

water ~ 6 hours

2 fluid ounces water -- for puréeing

2 tablespoons sesame seeds

2 jalapeños -- minced

1 1/2 " piece ginger root -- minced

1/2 teaspoon fennel seed -- crushed

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup shredded coconut

2 1/2 tablespoons fresh cilantro -- minced

1/2 teaspoon baking powder -- scant

3 tablespoons brown rice flour

1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil -- for frying

 

Drain peas and purée in a blender with the water until they are as smooth as

possible (they'll still have a somewhat rough texture). It will be necessary to

stop several times during this process to push down the batter to fully purée

the mixture.

 

Empty the blender contents into a bowl and gently fold in sesame seed,

jalapeños, ginger, fennel, salt, shredded coconut, and cilantro.

 

Stir baking powder into flour and fold this into mixture.

 

Using one heaping tablespoon mixture, form into patties ~ 1/2 " thick and 2 "

wide. Shallow fry until golden on both sides.

 

Makes 12 patties. Serving size: 2 dal cakes.

NOTES : This is my adaptation of Yamuna Devi's Crunchy Chana Dal recipe, revised

and scaled down to accommodate the available ingredients and number served.

 

White rice flour could be substituted for the brown rice flour. Tapioca flour

or corn starch (a.k.a. corn flour in the U.K. & Oz) could also be used. -- N.B.
