NOTES BY FOODEVA MARSAY
 ✏Try soaking and grinding a larger batch of Lentils and Dry Chillies, this is perfect to freeze after the grinding stage. Freeze in 1 Cup portions, when needed, thaw back to room temperature, if it appears to watery, simply drain off the excess liquid and then add the rest of the ingredients.
 ✏Try adding a little Curry leaf at the soaking/grinding stage for more added flavour.
 ✏Add Chillies according to your preference.
 ✏These little patties can be shaped as you desire, the most common being made with little hole in the centre before lowering into the oil.
