Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup yellow split peas

2 tablespoons pickled jalapenos -- chopped

1/2 teaspoon dried red chile flakes

1/3 cup onion -- minced

2 tablespoons fresh ginger -- minced

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro -- minced

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 cup steam-fried cabbage -- chopped (2 c. raw)

1 teaspoon baking powder

 

Makes 40 patties

 

This is a somewhat unorthodox recipe for wadas - an oven-baked

version. They are at their best when just taken out of the oven, but I've

even munched them cold out of the refrigerator and been surprised at how

tasty they are! NOTE: You need a food processor for this recipe.

 

Rinse and soak the split peas for at least 4 hours in enough water to

cover. Drain, rinse, and drain again. Place them in a food processor

along with the jalapeños, chile flakes, and 3 tablespoons water. Add the

onion, ginger, cilantro, and salt, and process until smooth. Add the

cabbage and baking powder, and processor again. Place the batter in a bowl

and refrigerate. The patties are easier to form when cold.

 

Preheat the oven to 450F. With wet hands, form the batter into 24

1/4-thick patties, and place on 2 oiled cookie sheets. Bake for 5 minutes

on each side.

 

Serve hot with Tofu " Yogurt " (see separate recipe) and chutney.
