Lentil Kofta is similar to falafel, except they’re made with lentils instead of chickpeas. I used U.S. pulses in this recipe combining red and brown lentils to create a similar texture and consistency. Combined with different spices and herbs, it is then shaped into logs or patties and pan-fried.

Enjoy this lentil kofta with tzatziki dip and warm grilled flatbread. You can also have it combined with salad in the form of a wrap or curries. They keep very well in the fridge or freezer and therefore are great for meal preparation too.

Did you know meat only tastes good because of three main components, smoke, fat, and spices? Without these three components, meat wouldn’t taste delicious. That means we can take these three components and make Patties, Stroganoff, Burger, and other meat alternatives altogether plant-based. 

It is all about trying out something new. Transitioning to a more conscious diet can be challenging, but I promise you all the effort and dedication will be worth it. Your body and mind will reward you in the most beautiful and surprising way. 

If you are just at the beginning of your plant-based journey my video about Mindset for Conscious Eating might be helpful. 

I hope this recipe serves you well. 

Sending love, as always. xx
