Savory Spice Balls
1/2 lb chana dall (split yellow peas)
3 small onions (button sized)
6 spring onions
4 sprigs watercress
2 green chillies
1 sprig parsley
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper (freshly ground)
Soak the dall in cold water for a day, then drain thoroughly. Chop all the vegetable ingredients finely. Place the dall in a food processor and process to a paste. Decant into a bowl, add turmeric, salt and pepper, and vegetable ingredients and mix well. Heat oil in a deep-frying pan. When it is hot, roll walnut-sized pieces of the paste in the palm of the hand and drop in to the oil to fry until golden brown. Remove from the oil and drain the gateaux on kitchen towels. Serve hot, with drinks.
Serves 4 to 6.
Vegetables are the food of the earth; fruit seems more the food of the heavens.
~Sepal Felicivant
To determine whether an egg is fresh, immerse it in a pan of cool, salted water. If it sinks, it is fresh-if it rises to the surface, throw it away.
