Wo- Black Lentils Cake
What is Wo?
Wo is the kind of snack( fried cake). Wo is prepared from the black lentils. Here I have used the black lentlis which can be found in local european market. Unfortunately it is not possible to get a good quality black lentils in Germany. Well I used the URID DAL black lentlis. They are used all for dhal or soups, along with rice.
Ingredients
300 gm black lentlis
3 Tablespoon Vegetable oil
1/2 Teaspoon mined Garli
1/2 Teaspoon mined ginger
Salt according to your taste
Preparation
1. Soak the the lentlis separately for 4-5 hours (depends upon the lentils), the orginal lentils from Nepal takes 14-16 hours untill it turns soft.
2. Grind the lentils with garlic and ginger till it becomes very fine paste.
3. Add the Salt according to your taste.
Hit the non stick Pan with vegetable oil. Take the lentils paste with the hand. Make a ball shape, put it on the pan and press it with your finger to give the round shape as shown on the picture above. If the pan is too hot, add little water. Turn the Lentils, when it turns brown and fried it for 2-3 mintues.(Don’t cover the pan)
Bara is ready to serve. As your taste, you can also add egg on it.
Bon Apétit !

Abha Shakya, Kaw-Shu? This is the German lentil so it has a different color even after taking the black sink off the lentil seed.
