Well, this might be my favourite one yet. Of course, this is spicier then the green lentil burger which was until now my favourite. I was worried because I thought it might be too spicy but its quite nice. Put this in a spelt pita with some fresh lettuce or whatever you like and serve with fresh cukes ..you have lunch! Now you have Indian food without the fat or sauces.. Love it!

Really good recipe. You wonder if it could possibly be good for you as tastes so good. But lentils are very healthy. Winner

What about the coconut oil? That sounds like it would be pretty high in calories. Are there any substitutes or do you think it is healthy as is?

If you do not want to use any oil, you can use a non stick pan. They will cook well that way as well.

Coconut oil IS a healthy fat. You need some fat in your diet but the good kind. Coconut is the best for cooking. It heats to a high temperate without smoking and doesn’t go rancid.

Try not thinking about calories but what does your body need to function. It needs three things: protein (big debate but I follow about 10% which is what some experts say is all or more than you need), carbohydrates (vegetables/fruits, grains, etc - NOT breads, pasta) and fats. You need fat in your diet.

I follow this:

protein 10%
fat 10-20%
carbs - the rest
