Julie's mum, Jess, used to make these Lentil Flatties

What you need:

               4 oz (115g)       red lentils
                         1       onion, finely chopped
            ½ pint (280ml)       water
               4 oz (114g)       self raising flour
1 level teaspoon (or more)       curry powder
                         1       egg
             3 tablespoons       milk
            Oil for frying
           Salt and pepper

Here is the method:

Fry onions gently in oil (preferably olive oil), until soft.

Add lentils and water, and cook gently for approx 25-30 mins, until the lentils are soft.

Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, and add a little more water if necessary.

Make batter with the flour, curry powder, egg and milk.

Mix together the lentil mixture and batter.

Season to taste.

Heat oil in a frying pan, and drop half cupfuls of the mixture into the pan.

Cook for a few minutes each side.
