I soaked masoor dal and oats in the morning…
and then totally forgot about them.
We went on with our day, and by evening I saw the bowl sitting on the counter. Instead of letting it go to waste, I just mashed everything together with paneer, besan, edamame, a few spices and made these crispy protein patties. Put together a quick Kala Chana salad for a boost of protein! 
Dinner felt effortless but so satisfying.
Sometimes the meals I don’t plan turn out to be the ones we all enjoy the most. Recipes below ⬇️ 
Ingredients:
	•	¼ cup masoor dal (washed and soaked in hot water)
	•	¼ cup instant oats
	•	1 small boiled potato
	•	¼ cup crumbled paneer
	•	¼ cup besan (gram flour)
	•	⅔ cup cooked edamame
	•	Ginger-garlic paste 
	•	Salt (adjust to taste)
	•	Black pepper
	•	Turmeric
	•	Garam masala
	•	Optional: finely chopped cilantro or green chilies or any veggie if you’d like! 

Method:
-Soak the masoor dal and oats in hot water(be sure to rinse the dal) 
-Blend to a coarse paste (not too smooth) If you are going to mash it like me, be sure masoor dal is soft enough! 
-In a mixing bowl, combine the masoor dal oats paste with, mashed potato, paneer, edamame, and besan.
-Add all the spices and ginger-garlic paste. Mix well to form a thick dough-like consistency.
-Shape into small patties or balls.
-Pan-fry on medium heat with minimal oil/ghee until golden and crispy on both sides.
-OR bake at 400°F for ~15 minutes, flipping halfway.
