Step 1
Lentil balls: Rinse the lentils and cook in vegetable stock according to the packet instructions (approx. 30 minutes) over a medium heat until very soft. Drain, add the Kikkoman Gluten free Soy Sauce and leave to steam dry. Meanwhile, sauté the onions in a little oil over a medium heat for 4–5 minutes. Add to the lentils. Fold in the eggs, paprika powder, cumin and breadcrumbs. Leave to stand for approx. 10 minutes. Divide into portions of approx. 40 g and shape into balls with damp hands. Cover and chill until needed. Deep-fry to order for approx. 3–4 minutes at approx. 170°C until golden brown.
Step 2
Sauce: sauté the curry powder and turmeric in a little oil over a low heat for approx. 1 minute. Add the coconut milk and season with the Kikkoman Ponzu Lemon. Thicken to the desired consistency with the cornflour.
Step 3
Blanch the vegetables in salted water. Cook the rice according to the packet instructions, then reheat in portions in a sauté pan with a knob of butter.
Step 4
To serve, add the vegetables to the sauce and bring to the boil. Spoon approx. 50 g sauce and 50 g vegetables onto each plate. Arrange three fried lentil balls on top and serve with approx. 50 g rice.
Tip:
To make even-sized balls without weighing, you can use a small ice cream scoop. Instead of breadcrumbs, you can also use couscous to give the mixture more structure.
