Instructions

1

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked mung dal, finely chopped spinach, grated sweet potato, and a pinch of turmeric and cumin. The mixture should be thick and hold its shape.

2

Shape the batter into small, flattened cakes (handvo style).

3

Prepare a steamer basket over boiling water. Place the cakes on a piece of parchment paper or a greased steaming tray.

4

Steam for 8-10 minutes until firm to the touch and the spinach is vibrant green.

5

Carefully remove from the steamer and garnish with finely chopped toasted almonds for a delicate crunch.

6

Serve warm, perhaps with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to brighten the earthy lentils.
