Spicy Couscous Patties

 

 

10 oz Couscous

1 ts Mustard seeds

6 Green chillies

1/2 c Urad dahl

1 1 " piece of ginger

3 Dry red chillies

Salt; to taste

Curry leaves (2-3 sprigs)

2 ts Vegetable oil

2 tb Coconut (optional)

 

You will be able to get mustard seeds, curry leaves

and urad dahl in

any local Indian store. Save about 2 tsp of urad dahl

and soak the rest

of the urad dahl in water for about an hour. After an

hour, grind the

urad dahl, green chillies and ginger to the

consistency of Pancake batter

and keep aside. In a pan, heat the 2 tsp veg oil and

add the mustard

seeds, 2 tsp urad dahl (that was saved), the curry

leaves and the red

chillies (after cutting them into fine pieces). When

the mustard seeds

start spluttering and the urad dahl starts turning

golden brown, add 3 1/2

cups of water and the urad dahl batter, mix well and

close the pan.

When the water starts boiling, add salt. (The batter

already added will

tend to form clusters- Don't worry - Can be fixed

later) Add the couscous

and mix thoroughly (use a Potato masher and get rid of

any clusters by

mashing them well). After the mixture has solidified,

(This should not

take more than 5-10 minutes) take the pan out of the

heat and let cool.

After the mixture has cooled, take a small portion of

the mixture and

make into a patty and set aside. (You can use some

water and/or oil to

make the patties if the batter is too sticky) The

amounts mentioned in

this recipe should yield about 30 patties. Serve with

sphaghetti Sauce

or any Spicy chutney.
