Making Process

---

Step- I

---

First I cleaned Red lentil and soak in water for about 1 hour. This is essential for making this recipe. After 1 hour drain the water and let it dry for a bit. In this way, Red lentils will be puffy and easy to bland.

---

Step-II

---

In this step, I collect mint leaves from my garden. These are so fresh and healthy. I collect around 1 cup of mint leaves and clean them with water.

---

Step-III

---

Then I chopped the leaves. Try to make a thin cut so that it will be mixed with other ingredients easily.

Step- IV

---

Then I blend Red lentils with a grinder. You have to be very careful about it because if you blend it more than 2 times, it won’t be crispy. Just break the lentils in low pressure.

^Step-IV

Step-V

---

It's time to add the ingredients. First I add salt. Here I have added as per my requirement. I try to consume less sugar and salt. I think you all should do this for better health.

^Step-V

---

Step- VI

---

Then I add 1/2 cup of chopped onion. I finely chopped this onion before. And I add 1/2 tbs turmeric powder. It will make a perfect colour.

^Step-VI

---

Step- VII

---

Then I added the chopped mint leaves and mixed all the ingredients smoothly. I am just 1 step away from my final preparation.

^Step-VII

---

Step- VIII

---

Finally, I heat a frying pan and pour oil. Then, take a small amount of bitter and make a round shape using my hand. Then drop it in hot oil. Fry until it turns into a Brown colour.
