💰Cheaper: paprika

Curry powder adds complexity while being budget-friendly.

Start by mixing all of the ingredients into a bowl.

Add 1 cup of cooked lentils, making sure they are cooked first and seasoned with a bay leaf and salt.

Add 1/2 a chopped onion.

Add 1/2 cup of chopped cilantro (the creator mentions they meant cilantro instead of parsley).

Add 1 beaten egg.

Add a little salt to taste and mix everything together.

Optionally, add garlic or red pepper for extra spice.

Put half of the mixture into a food processor and blend until it has the consistency of a paste.

Add the second half of the mixture to the food processor and blend until combined.

Scoop out a quarter cup of the mixture at a time and form into disks (patties).

Heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan.

Once the oil is hot, place the patties into the pan.

Cook the patties for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, flipping them after 3 minutes.

Total cooking time is about 6 minutes on medium-low heat.

Let the patties cool for a few minutes before serving.
