Ingredients

1 cup Red Lentils
1 large Onion
3 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Ginger
2 tsp Berbere Spice
1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
2 cups Flour
1 cup Water

Method

Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes, then add onion and cook stirring occasionally until golden-brown, 6–8 minutes.
Add garlic and ginger to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Add lentils, berbere spice, salt, and pepper to the skillet, stir to combine, and cook for 1 minute.
Add water to the skillet, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 20–25 minutes, or until lentils are tender.
Meanwhile, combine flour and a pinch of salt in a bowl, then gradually add water, stirring with a fork, until a dough forms.
Knead the dough for 5–7 minutes, until smooth and elastic, then cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into 6–8 equal pieces, shape into balls, and flatten slightly into disks.
Place a spoonful of lentil mixture onto the center of each disk, then fold the dough over the filling and press edges to seal.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat, and cook the snack bites for 2–3 minutes on each side, until golden-brown and crispy.
