In a pan, sauté onions with cumin, grated carrot, and grated zucchini or bottle gourd. Add in all the spices and cook until water from the veggies evaporates. Add in spices and boiled mushy brown lentils, and stir. Set aside in a bowl and let it cool. Add in mint, chilies, and bread crumbs. Shape up like nuggets, about 2 inches wide and 3 inches in length. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high, add lentil nuggets, and cook for 3 minutes or until golden brown. Flip the nuggets and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove nuggets and dab them with a paper towel to remove excess oil. Serve immediatelyView original recipe
