3. Process until the lentils are chopped into a grainy mixture. You don't want it to be come a paste..
4. Form into balls using about 2 Tbsp of the lentil mix each. (it helps to wet your hands a little to prevent the mixture from sticking). If they are falling apart, add more flour to the mixture..
