👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Rinse the red lentils thoroughly, then boil them in water until very soft and most of the water has been absorbed, about 15-20 minutes. Drain any excess water and mash the lentils well.
2. In a bowl, combine the mashed lentils with finely chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, fresh cilantro, ground spices, and breadcrumbs. Mix well until a cohesive mixture forms.
3. Form the lentil mixture into small, flat kofta patties. Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat and fry the kofta patties for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Prepare the tahini sauce: in a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, a splash of water, and chopped fresh parsley until smooth and creamy. Adjust water for desired consistency.
5. Warm the whole wheat tortilla slightly for better flexibility. Spread a generous amount of tahini sauce on the tortilla.
6. Arrange the fried lentil kofta patties, lettuce, sliced tomato, cucumber, and red onion in the center of the tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly to form a wrap.
