Hi Ganda,

Here is what my sister told me she made the brown lentils filling:

1)Cook 1/2 Kg of brown lentils in a pressure cooker with water in it (She
could not remember how much water she used) so I suppose enough water to
cook in, don`t put too much water as they are not to be used in making the
filling. Cook it under low fire until the pressure cooker blows( expels air
pressure).
2)Switch off the fire & leave the lid closed, the lentils will continue to
cook with the heat inside.
3)When it is cooled, then seperate the lentils from the water with a sieve.
4)Crush the lentils with the skins in a mixer until it is thoroughly crushed
into a paste.
5)Put some oil into a cooking pan (or a wok), put the paste in add sugar
according to taste ( she could not remember the quantity).Cook until the
paste thickens. Then it is ready.
There is probably more than needed for the recipe of cake. She told me she
prefers to make more, just in case there might not be enough.
She learned from another person how to maike it. The other lady told her to
remove the skins of the lentils before crushing the lentils, but she thought
that there would be too little quantity if she did that, so she used the
whole lentils to make the filling.
