Here's The Recipe For Dal Tadka Patty:

Ingredients:

Dal Tadka: two bowls

Besan (gram flour)- four table spoons

Bread crumbs/Rice flour- a little less than half cup

Onions- four to five tablespoons (finely chopped)

Ginger-garlic paste- two tablespoon

Lemon juice- one tablespoon

Salt- if needed

Red chilli powder- if needed

Coriander leaves- two tablespoons (finely chopped)

Oil- to fry

Preparation:

Heat a pan, pour one tablespoon oil.

Pour the dal tadka in the pan and stir continuously on medium flame till it gets dry (really dry!). Stirring is very important or else it will stick to the bottom of the kadhai and get burnt.

Take it in a mixing bowl and add onion, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, chopped coriander leaves, salt (if needed) and red chilli (if needed); mix them well.

Add besan and bread crumbs or rice flour to it and mix all the ingredients to make soft dough.

Now make patty-shaped balls out of the dough and leave for 15 minutes. Cover the bowl with a wet cloth.

Take a frying pan, add oil and shallow fry the patties. Fry one side, when it gets brown-ish in colour, flip it and fry the other side.

Crispy dal tadka patties are ready to be served.

On that note, add bread crumbs if you want to make patty for homemade sandwich or burger, whereas add rice flour if you want to have it just like that. This patty-dough cannot be preserved and kept in store for long. So try to have it fresh.

Enjoy the patties hot with spicy chutneys or dips of your choice. Bon appetite!
