1. 1

   Fry the onion in the oil, with a lid on the pan, for 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Add the garlic, chili and ground coriander, then cover and cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lentils.

3. 3

   If you are going to deep-fry the burgers, put the oil on to heat, but keep your eye on it.

4. 4

   Cover the bread with water, drain immediately, then squeeze out all the water and crumble the bread - this is a quick way of making breadcrumbs.

5. 5

   Add to the lentil mixture along with the fresh cilantro and seasoning, mashing the mixture with the spoon or a potato masher so that it holds together.

6. 6

   Divide the mixture into four and form into sphere shapes if you are going to deep-fry them, or flattish burger shapes for shallow-frying.

7. 7

   Then fry them until crisp and brown: they will need about 3-4 minutes on each side if shallow-frying and 4-5 minutes in total if deep-frying.

8. 8

   Drain them well on paper towels.

9. 9

   Serve with a sauce made by stirring the chopped dill into the creamy yogurt and seasoning with salt and pepper.
