Guest guest Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Hi All, Just had to share. I cooked above dish using this recipe http://tinyurl.com/y97nr7k and it was absolutely delicious. Bit fiddly, but certainly not difficult. Notes: recipe says 370gms or 2 cups of lentils. On my scale,370 gms is way more than 2 cups, so I used 2 cups. You need to make sure you really squash/squish the balls into shape, or they fall apart when you fry them. Recipe says to make sure your hands are dry, but I found it much easier if my hands where a little wet. Virginia West Aussie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 I couldn't see the recipe from that link By the way, what does " fiddly " mean? Time-consuming or tedious? I love knowing other English slang words! Audrey On Sat, Jan 23, 2010 at 6:41 AM, Virginia <artemesia wrote: > > > Hi All, > Just had to share.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Sorry Audrey, Try this one - hope this one works http://tinyurl.com/ydraq89 The first one I sent you was a review of a Marie Claire book " the Essential Asian cookbook:and it was great cos it had pictures. Fiddly um!! I think tedious is probably the best description. You know -something that takes a bit of effort -you have to grate a potato and onion and then combine that with lentils, flour and roll into balls. I call that " fiddly " lol but I'm probably just a bit lazy and I hate getting flour or anything else on my hands. Slang is interesting isn't it. If you slapped a female on the fanny in Australia, you would be in a lot of trouble. If someone says " it's your shout " they don't want you to yell -but it is your turn to buy the drinks. And if the invitation says " bring a plate " you are expected to bring a plate of food to share, not an empty plate -as some have done thinking their host/hostess must be short of crockery lol. Here is a link - hope this works too http://tinyurl.com/83gb3 Virginia > I couldn't see the recipe from that link > By the way, what does " fiddly " mean? Time-consuming or tedious?

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Hi Audrey Fiddly means that it takes a bit of trouble to do - that might mean that it's time consuming, or tricky, or that there are lots of little aspects to doing whatever it is. Trying to put something together that had lots of small parts would be fiddly. In this case I would say that Virginia's explanation of how she made them describes what she meant by it.
