INSTRUCTIONS

Red lentils - Wash until water becomes clear

After lentils have soaked, strain off water and set it aside

To a heated pan, add 1 teaspoon of cooking oil

To begin to make the kebabs, in a mixing bowl pour in the red lentils mixture

Add in the vegetables and mix together

Add 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda

Mix well

Add a few drops of oil on my hands and spread all on my palms (done so the mixture doesn’t stick)

Start to roll the mixture into kabob shapes and set on a plate

Start to fry the kababs

In a medium to high heated pan, add 1/2 cup of oil

Add in the kababs

Cook until brown on one side then flip over until cooked completely
