Lentil Vegetable Nuggets
This simple veggie nugget recipe is made with red lentils, lots of vegetables, salt, ginger-chili paste, mint, and chickpea flour.
Mint gives a very nice flavor and aroma. Whereas chickpea flour works as a binding agent in this recipe.
These are little Indian tasting fritters. They, either cold or warm are a perfect pair for ketchup on the side for dipping!
We are very particular about ketchup or any dipping sauce. My family loves nice thick and rich Ketchup. One of our favorites is Hunt’s Best Ever Ketchup.
Hunt’s thickest, richest, best ever Ketchup. It pairs so well with this Vegetable fritters/nuggets.

Hi this looks delicious. Where do we find ginger chili paste? Also if we don’t have can we simply use even amount of ground ginger and chilis?
Hi, Thanks
I make Ginger and chili paste at home. here is a link https://www.cookingcarnival.com/ginger-chili-paste/
You can use grated ginger and fresh chilies.
These look so tasty! Can you use all purpose flour and would it be the same amount? I never use chickpea flour so not keen on buying a whole bag just for the recipe! Thank you!!
Thanks.. yes, you can use same amount of all-purpose flour.
This looks excellent and cannot wait to make for my picky eaters. I am not able to soak them in time for supper tonight. Do I have to soak the lentils? Am I able to cook them for 20 mins and then cool them before continuing the rest of the process?
Thanks. Soaking the lentils is recommended step. But you can skip it if you don’t have time.
