Pappadams, Dips and Fried Mint

For the lentil dip, cook the lentils in boiling hot salted water for 10-12 minutes, drain well in a sieve. Clean and finely dice the red chili. Pluck mint leaves and chop finely.

Grind the chili, mint and yogurt with a hand blender, then mix with the lentils, season lightly with salt and season with pepper.

For the Roquefort dip, crumble the cheese into a tall container. Clean green chili and finely dice. Add chili, whipping cream and honey and blend with a hand blender. Mix with cottage cheese and chives, season with salt and season with pepper.

For the dough, mix the flour in a baking bowl with egg whites, 125 ml of ice cold water and powdered beaver, season with salt and leave to cool. Rinse and dry the mint leaves.

For the pappadams, heat 250 ml oil in a frying pan. Pour in pappadams in batches, using 2 forks to pull apart the sides so they stay as even as possible, and finish baking on both sides until light brown. Remove, drain on paper towels.

For the mint leaves, heat the remaining oil to 160 °C in a saucepan. Place batter bowl in a second baking dish over ice cubes. Pull two mint leaves at a time through the batter, drain lightly and deep fry for 10 seconds. Remove, drain on paper towels. Place mint leaves and pappadams on a platter, bring to table with dips.

Tip: Use a regular or light yogurt, yes, as needed!
