French Green Lentils aka Le Puy Green Lentils are quite popular in France, as much as like our Indian lentils, this lentils are extremely nutritious. You can dish out many delicious dishes out of this lentils and i dont forget to get a packet whenever i go to our nearby super market. Usually prepared as soups or accompaniments or in salads, this puy lentils are extremely delicious and very versatile. I have been trying some Indian dishes out of this lentils and its works prefectly awesome. As like every lentils, this Le puy lentils calls for soaking time, but trust me you doesnt need to soak them for overnite. Just soaking for two hours is quite enough to dish out a healthy dish with this lentils.
Summer came almost to an end here and the weather was rainy and bit chilled suddenly, to keep ourself warm, i prepared a simple pakodas with this healthy lentils and they came out extremely crispy. With less efforts and usual ingredients, you can prepare this pakodas easily and served with a chutney or else with a cup of coffee or tea, you will definitely enjoy your snacks without any guilt.
