This evening I made a curry that had mango yogurt in it and rather than making rice I made baked lentil balls, haha there is a better name for them, right? Something like kofte? Anyhow this dish was extremely affordable, packed with veggies and flavour.

That looks so tasty! Do you have a recipe?

I have been just making the curry for a while, so pretty much all ingredients are what I would like them to be. Not sure about exact measurements. Curry: Two medium white onions, diced same amount of diced eggplant. Salt and pepper. Sautéed in oil. Clear the middle of the pan for the spices, I used curry powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, red pepper flakes, and a garlic ginger paste. Add a tin of diced tomatoes. Add about a cup and a bit of mango yogourt - I usually use coconut cream here but felt like switching it up. Let simmer.

Lentil balls: I boiled 1.5 cups of red lentils for 5 minutes, don't want them too mushy. In a food processor I added, a large carrot (cut into smaller pieces), an onion, garlic ginger paste, close to the same spices from the curry, and parsley (I was out of fresh coriander), and a bit of the yogourt. Blended until it was in small chunks. Mix with the lentils, smashing most of it. I formed into balls and placed onto a greased baking sheet. I cooked it in a pre-heated oven at 425*F for 12 minutes, flipped the lentil balls and mashed them down a bit and cooked for another 12 minutes.
